The Trump administration has banned consular posts from flying any flags other than that of the United States of America.
This is part of President Donald Trump’s pledge to crack down on LGBTQ in the country.
As reported by the Guardian, UK, a memo titled “One flag policy” it sighted, tends to stop the gay pride and Black Lives Matters flags from flown at embassies as they were during the last administration.
During a 2023 Pride month celebration, the display of the pride flags at the White House, sparked a backlash from conservatives.
And now some of such things tolerated by the Biden administration has been put on hold by the current government.
“Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at US facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in US government content,” the memo read.
The memo went on to establish that the US flag unites all citizens under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy.”
The decision followed several White House executive orders signed on Trump’s first day in office.
