Funding bill bars U.S. embassies from flying LGBTQ Pride flags
WASHINGTON — Tucked in the massive funding bill signed Saturday by President Joe Biden is a provision banning the flying of LGBTQ Pride flags over U.S. embassies, but the White House has vowed to work toward its repeal.
The prohibition was one of many side issues included in the mammoth $1.2 trillion package to fund the government through September, which passed early Saturday shortly after a midnight deadline.
