U.S. embassies defying Trump admin by flying ‘gay pride’ flag: ‘This is category one insurrection’
The National Sentinel ^ | 2019-06-10 | Jon Dougherty

After the Trump administration formally denied requests from multiple United States embassies to hoist the LGBT flag in honor of “Pride Month,” several of them, along with other diplomatic missions, are doing it anyway.

“This is a category one insurrection,” one anonymous diplomat told The Post.


The Secretary of State needs to get a grip on this insurrection.

i assume we have military at these places.

Can Trump have them intervene?

I don’t care how bad it looks on the national stage, this is an outrage.

Well, then, I guess you can take it to the bank.

Fire these a-holes, now. Then let me know who they are and their date of termination, so that they can be permanently banned from any future government service.

I guess ‘pride month’ explains the rainbow flag I saw at a Southwest airlines counter a few days ago...

When is ‘Sloth Month’, ‘Greed Month’, ‘Envy Month’, etc?

these actions by DOJ people should have serious consequences for such disobedience of direct orders.

The facades of the U.S. missions in Seoul and Chennai, India, are partially hidden behind large rainbow flags, while the embassy in New Delhi is aglow in rainbow colored lights. The website for the embassy in Santiago, Chile, shows a video of the chief diplomat raising a rainbow flag last month for the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.

As I understood the directive, dIsplay of the rainbow flag was not forbidden. What they could not do is display it on a par with the US flag. As long as it is not displayed on the same flagpole or beside it at equal height, it was all right.

If Trump gets wind of this, and he will, there will be consequences to those in defiance.

He won't tolerate his directives being deliberately ignored.
