Several Republican members of the US House of Representatives marked the start of Pride Month this week by joining an effort to ban the flying of rainbow-coloured flags at US embassies.
A news release from the office of Congressman Jeff Duncan of South Carolina indicated that three additional Republican members had joined the bill as co-sponsors this week, bringing the total number of official supporters in the House to twenty members of the 211-member strong GOP caucus.
The bill was first unveiled in February by Mr Duncan and its original co-sponsors including the fiery gadfly Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, known for her past support of the “#QAnon” conspiracy theories as well as her other far-right views.

LGBT individuals have served this country since day 1. They have fought, sacrificed their bodies and lives for this Country. They deserve recognition and equal treatment and its time these frigging bigots STFU and crawl back under their rock and stay there.

That is true - no argument from me, but the only flag that should be flown at Government installations is the US Flag, and maybe the POW flag. The Government cannot show favoritism to any faction, or group of people within the country, it serves all of us.

There is a reason why they fly it in embassies around the world. It sends a message. that LGBT individuals are valued members of society and flying it in countries that are anti LGBT is important.
