Though the State Department has rejected some embassy requests to fly rainbow flags in celebration of Pride month, diplomats are finding creative ways to circumvent the decision.
According to the Washington Post, diplomats in Seoul and Chennai, India still flew the flags, while the building in New Delhi is awash with rainbow lights. Santiago and Vienna went digital, promoting the rainbow colors on their embassy websites. Diplomats in Jerusalem hit the streets to march in a Pride parade, while representatives stationed all over the globe posted pictures of themselves in rainbow gear or holding up signs in front of their embassies.
Before this year, flying a Pride flag was a matter of course, ever since the Obama administration encouraged foreign policy agencies to celebrate in 2011. Only within the past year have diplomats been forced to obtain top-level approval to fly the rainbow colors.
Points for a creative response to unnecessary douchebaggery from this administration.
Unnecessary douchebaggery… AKA everyday operations in ever single governmental department tainting and coloring absolutely everything.
A cancer of hate oozing along.
But hey, people are tired of the Democrats complaining constantly about the damage done by trump. Complicit, willfully ignorant people.
The thing that confounds me about the Trump Administration variety of the GOP is whether their policies are merely the petty thought-burps of Stephen Miller and his ilk or the crazy mental meanderings of idiots who think Jesus loved punching people in the mouth.
