Does anyone know what the rules are for US embassies flying flags other than the US flag?

Are they allowed to fly flags for various groups and various occasions?

Do we have a federal standard for what's appropriate or is any embassy allowed to fly any flags they want for any reason?

I would feel the same way if someone flew the Gasden flag outside an Embassy. There is one flag that should be flown.

I believe that the Admin made the right call. Of course, if they flew THIS rainbow flag, people's heads would explode.

The gay pride, rainbow flag is an abomination. It is an affront to the rainbow itself. Those bastards know how to stick the knife in, don’t they?

A pox on those who have usurped a beautiful phenomena in our skies to represent their wicked, twisted, evil, unnatural lifestyle.

“Kill those queers,” it is just to do so! (Not that I feel strongly about this crap!)

This is foolish. It should not even be given the remotest consideration. There is only one flag to fly over any U.S. Government facility other than a military or state flag subservient to the national flag.

Up until the fags came along insisting that the rest of us join them in sin by endorsing it this was never a topic for discussion.

They can have their own fagpole somewhere else but it does not represent all of us.

If US embassy staff wants to host a gay pride party at a restaurant over inside the Hilton hotel, that’s up to them as long as they do it after work. But when they’re on duty, their allegiance is to the United States of America and the Old Glory flag

The Gadsden flag is an American flag much like the Betsy Ross flag or the Culpeper minutemen flag. There is no reason to be flying the flag of fagotry on any U.S. building

Queer, gay, gay pride... the steady decline of words. I want the rainbow back.

They have invited their own pox. Released from the walls of the closet against which they leaned, now they are finding a public that won’t be badgered into supporting their weight.

Don’t wish a pox. God has the rules for that part down pat. Challenge them with a salvation from sin.

"We both feel that way very passionately, but when it comes to the American flagpole and American embassies and capitals around the world, having the one American flag fly is the right decision," he said, adding that the Trump administration had administered no other restrictions regarding flags or displays at U.S. embassies.

Dear Vice President Pence:

THANK YOU SIR, for giving voice to the opinion that most American Citizens (including this American Veteran and a Family of so many generations that holds dearly our traditional values.)

You chose to say what we would say, and that means so very much!

They still let them fly it all over the embassy as long as it’s not on the official flagpole. Grow a backbone and prohibit the damned atrocity everywhere in the embassy.

They shouldn’t be displaying any symbols other than that of the US government at our embassies. To do so implies the embassy has divided loyalties.

May those homosexuals be converted from their evil way and deception. Amen. And may our culture quit calling this miserable orientation”gay”.
God did use the rainbow as a sign with Noah and his wife. Also there were three sons with one wife each.

They are historical flags and no longer THE flag of the USA. On principle I object to the rainbow flag as I'd object to the flags you mention or anything other than the offices flag of the US.

A gay flag would also invite attacks in many countries that prohibit homosexuality. Therefore that would also be a security risk. How stupid are these people?

No one can imagine the horror that comes after Trump.
