Tiberius Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science! — Donald J.

The U.S. embassies in Israel, Germany, Brazil and Latvia are among those that have requested permission from Trump's State Department to fly the pride flag on their flagpoles and have been denied, diplomats said.

B-Man Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Embassies Display Pride Flags, Media Get it Wrong By Kim Hirsch In case you missed it, it’s Gay Pride Month. Because it’s Pride Month, four US embassies around the world requested permission to fly the rainbow pride flag on flagpoles. The Trump administration put the kibosh on that, although embassies are permitted to display the flag on embassy grounds, such as the inside of the building or on exterior walls. But once again the media distort what really happened. The Hill reports as its headline, “Some US embassies fly rainbow flag despite rejected requests from Trump admin.” Newsweek‘s headline reads, “U.S. Embassies Display Pride Flag, Despite Trump Administration Advisory Against It.” Finally, the Washington Post had this headline: “Some U.S. Embassies still hoisting rainbow flags, despite new policy.” Man the ramparts, the rainbow troops are mounting an insurrection! I can practically hear choruses from Les Miserables! Except the media, once again, are not presenting the facts correctly. It’s true that the embassies were not given permission to fly the rainbow flag on their flagpoles with the American flag. However, as noted above, they did receive permission to display the flag in an alternative manner. For example, the embassy in Seoul, South Korea, worked within the parameters of the guidelines by placing a large rainbow flag on the exterior of the building. Per regulation, it is not flying from a flagpole. The U.S. Consulate General in Chennai also placed its flag on the building’s exterior, and produced this video. The U.S. Embassy in India projected rainbow lights on the exterior of their building, which they used on their Twitter page. Moreover, Richard Grenell of the US Embassy in Berlin, an openly gay member of the Trump administration, said this: “The President’s recognition of Pride Month and his tweet encouraging our decriminalization campaign gives me even more pride to once again march in the Berlin Pride parade, hang a huge banner on the side of the Embassy recognizing our pride, host multiple events at the Embassy and the residence, and fly the gay pride flag.” The Trump administration, despite the frenzied headlines, obviously doesn’t have a problem with displaying gay pride. But this year it made two new stipulations: first, the flag requests must receive higher level approval from the State Department. Secondly, as noted above, the flags cannot fly on a flagpole with the American flag. What’s the problem? Never mind that President Trump is the first Republican president to honor Pride Month with a statement, or that his administration has appointed several gay ambassadors. It’s never good enough. But more importantly, I ask you this: Why should any special interest group have the right to fly their flag with the American flag at an embassy? Should we also fly the flags of, for instance, environmental groups? Or soccer teams? Or flags that say Choose Life? Could you imagine the outrage with that? So how about this: we leave embassy flagpoles only for Old Glory. No other non-state flag should fly there. In the meantime, maybe the media could get their information straight, and stop making the Trump administration to be some draconian regime from the Dark Ages. https://victorygirlsblog.com/embassies-display-pride-flags-media-wrong/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
