The law says that no U.S. funding can be used to "fly or display a flag over a facility of the United States Department of State" other than the U.S. flag, other government-related flags like the prisoner of war or MIA flag, or flags in support of hostages and illegally imprisoned Americans.

This is interpreted as being "anti-LGBTQI+" because the "pride" flag had flown over some embassies in the past. Actually, I protest that embassies cannot fly the "Smokey the Bear" flag or the "Magic Kingdom" flag they fly at Disney. Those flags have as much business flying over a foreign U.S. enclave as the "pride" flag.

If you're going to fly a "pride" flag to celebrate the LGBT movement for equality, why not a flag to celebrate the movement for women's equality, black equality, Hispanic equality, Puerto Rican statehood, or any other of a dozen "movements" that would represent a goodly number of Americans who yearn for equal rights?

In today's lexicon, the "pride" flag should not be flown because it's "exclusionary."
