President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris kicked off pride month on Tuesday by touting their efforts to boost diversity in the military and to fly the gay pride flag at US outposts around the world.

Already some embassies and consulates are flying the signature rainbow flag.

'The U.S. Embassy to the Holy See celebrates #PrideMonth with the Pride flag on display during the month of June,' wrote the embassy on Twitter with a picture of the flag on their building. 'The United States respects the dignity and equality of LGBTQI+ people. LGBTQI+ rights are human rights.'

In a statement on Gay Pride Month, which begins June 1, Biden noted in his first weeks in office he signed several executive orders that expanded the definition of discrimination to include LGBTQ people and one that prohibits discrimination against transgender servicemembers, which over turned a Trump-era policy.

LGBTQI+? Do they think they are running out of letters? I suppose the '+' is a stand in for anything one identifies. Quite serious, this is disrespectful to aliens. It's really going to piss off some people.

The day after Memorial Day. Under the dictionary definition of the word ‘prick’ one could place this as an example.

That’s a great idea for a bumper sticker : “Celebrate normal people month”. Or “Normal and proud”.

That does not make the military more diverse. It tells the world that the USA is ruled by incompetent fools who hate the country and are willingly driving it into ruin.

This is part of the back and forth that has started between the military and the faux president two months ago. This only will piss off the fighting force even more than they are.

“Biden and Harris announce push to make military more diverse and to fly Pride flags at US embassies around the world for LGBTQ month”

Biden and Harris announce push to make military weaker and to fly Pride flags at US embassies around the world to prove they are both morons.

There, fixed it

They know that as well as we do.

Sodomy is not a source of pride.

Speaking of June, do you think they are going to mention Juneteenth this year. Last year they made a big deal out of it after President Trump planned a rally on June 19th. Never heard of it before.
