WASHINGTON D.C. — (04-24-21) — President Joe Biden’s administration announced on Friday that U.S. embassies can once again fly the rainbow flag during PRIDE Month, reversing former president Trump’s anti-LGBTQ policy.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the decision via diplomatic cable.
“Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken has given blanket authority to U.S. diplomatic missions across the world to fly the rainbow pride flag on the same pole as the American flag at embassies and consulates during PRIDE Month”.
The action reversed the Trump administration’s policy that banned embassies from raising the PRIDE rainbow flag on their poles during the month of June, which in the United States and many other countries PRIDE month.”
