Trump state department bans LGBT, BLM flags at embassies: ‘Only the American flag allowed’

THE DAILY FETCHED

The Trump State Department has implemented a new policy within just 48 hours of President Donald Trump‘s inauguration, banning all Black Lives Matter, Pride and LGBT flags from any U.S. outposts in the country or abroad.

The current flags flown at the behest of the Biden administration will be removed, with the exception of the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) emblem and the Wrongful Detainees Flags.

The order states:

“Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content.”

“The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy.”

“These values, which are the bedrock of our great country, are shared by all American citizens, past and present.”

“The U.S. flag is a powerful symbol of pride and it is fitting and respectful that only the U.S. flag be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestically and abroad.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was confirmed Monday, issued the order following a host of other items.
