Why doesn't every persecuted group get a flag at US embassies?
Washington Examiner ^ | 6/18/2019 | Penny Nance & Shea Garrison

June is designated LGBT Pride Month, and rainbows are displayed on everywhere from T-shirts to restaurant chains to the Uber app. Even with all the gay pride flags, parades, and recognition the LGBT community receives in the U.S. during June, the Left is still not satisfied. They demand that the rainbow flag be flown over U.S. embassies abroad.

Look at this practice that's been in place since the Obama administration — President Barack Obama actively promoted the LGBT community not just domestically but also internationally through the U.N., State Department, and U.S. Agency for International Development.

I see an editorial cartoon where there’s a man on a roof waving a gay pride flag. He then helps up another man who joins him, only waving a black flag of Islam once on the roof. In the fourth panel the second man has wrapped up the first in his rainbow flag and is throwing him off of the roof.

Because they’re not persecuted. It’s all about getting those votes. dems are willing to give special privileges to anyone, if it gives them votes.

Flying a flag outside a building is a
symbol of what those within Honor and show Allegiance to

The Russian embassy should fly the Russian Flag
The USA embassy should fly the USA Flag

Are we now Honoring and showing allegiance
to the Gay Mafia?

You have to advance the left-wing Satanic cult of death in order to be recognized as a protected class.

Yeah, why not the guy who says, “My multiple personalities are a persecuted group and I even have my own flag...”

In reality Christian are one of the most persecuted groups and deserve more attention. I suspect more Christians die of violence every year around the world than the LBGQ persecution.

We let ourselves forget that the rainbow colors were already used by Christians due to the symbol of God’s promise to Noah with the rainbow in the sky. Our Judeo-Christian culture and the Bible are aggravating to the perverts.

If we did the Christian flag would be flying everywhere.

We are the most persecuted group in the world, currently and historically.

The Premise of this Article is completely wrong.

The LBTQWXYZ People being referred to are not “persecuted”.

It is a Liberal Fantasy of Victimization where none exists.

My BFF and I are making our own ‘ribbon’ to support our ‘cause.’

We don’t HAVE a ‘cause’ but since all of the ‘colors’ have already been co-opted by this group or that, we’re designing a CLEAR ribbon...covered in loose pet hair.

*SNORT* :)

She summed it up perfectly in saying..

...the American flag, a testimony to our nation’s defense of the defenseless. Our flag embodies the principles of individual liberty and justice for all. It should be the final word and symbol for every identity group. We are all Americans and that’s all the world needs to know...

A United States Embassy represents ALL Americans. Flags such as that used by the homosexuals/lesbians/transgenders/etc. represent them , a very small portion of Americans. Hence the American Flag flies at our Embassies not those of various small groups.
