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?

[DoodleBob]

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.

[BatGuano]

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!)

[Sequoyah101]

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

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

"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.

[thoughtomator]

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.

[Gene Eric]

Separation of sodomy and state!

[binreadin]

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?

[coaster123]

No one can imagine the horror that comes after Trump.

[YogicCowboy]

No unofficial flag should be flown, least of all that.

Pride in Homoeroticism = Glorying in Shame.

[Eagles6]

Thank you President Pence 2024.

[northislander]

Atlas is about to shrug and has a moral obligation to do so...

[piasa]

That these people cannot understand why only the US flag should fly over US embassies and only the US seal should be displayed demonstrates the complete lack of maturity on their part that justifies questioning their leadership abilities and judgement in everything else.

If they don’t grasp this they need to be fired...and I am disturbed that they haven’t been already, and replaced with adults.

[a fool in paradise]

Can the pink journalists make a case why the political flag f homofascism SHOULD hang at our embassies?

[joma89]

It is tye right decision. It is also the right decision to only fly the US flag and no other flag.

[jughandle]

Besides, we wouldn’t want to offend Muslims overseas now, would we. I hear they’re not very fond of that lifestyle.

[Ann Archy]

NO OTHER FLAG should EVER be flown from our Embassies....NEVER! Especially for such IMMORALITY!
