    Biden..The Pride flag can fly on the same pole as the US flag

    The Pride flag can fly on the same pole as the US flag per Biden

    I have nothing against those folks but their flag or any other flag, should not be on same pole as the US flag

    And I agree with what Vice President Pence had said when Trump was president, that when it comes to the American flag pole, and American embassies, and capitals around the world, one American flag flies.

    "Biden's Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will allow embassies to fly the Pride flag on the same pole as the US flag

    US embassies can now fly gay Pride flag on same pole as American flag

    Move changes Trump-era policy that allowed Pride symbols to be displayed but did not allow flag to fly with Stars and Stripes

    Secretary of State Anthony Blinken sent a cable to diplomatic outposts around the world giving them blanket permission to fly the flag

    Directive comes ahead of gay pride month

    Biden has vowed to fight for LGBTQ rights around the world

    Yes, you wonder how this 2-3% has gained such clout while never being called to account for the problems they have caused. I note the feminists ( who pays attention to them these days) have maintained a deafening silence over the threat to girls sports caused by the "transgenders", have you ever seen a flag that symobilizes Second Amendment rights? Or the First ? Hmm, I recall in years gone by that's what Old Glory was for.

      Not surprising that the Sec. of State authorized this. Just last month he was bent over a conference table by the Chicoms and royally reamed with the cameras rolling.

        That should strike fear into those that would oppose the U.S.A.

            Nothing says the Flag must fly alone. So long as it's the largest and at the top. No more than three sharing the pole.
            Our Flag, Local government or organization flag, private flag in decending order and size.

                The "Don't Tread on Me" flag (the Culpepper flag) is the official jack of the US Navy. It is flown at the jackstaff of every Navy ship when at anchor,

                  Is the subject the Culpepper or the Gadsden flag? Both carry the words "Don't tread on me".
                  Personally I like flying the Gadsden flag near election time. Doesn't get me anywhere but I enjoy it.

                    Again I agree in what Pence had said in that the American flag should be the only flag on the pole that fires over the capital or other US government buildings.

                      The Culpeper Flag was first used in 1775 and is a variation of the Gadsden Flag created earlier in the year by Congressman Christopher Gadsden of South Carolina. Gadsden served on Congress' Marine Committee when it decided to outfit the USS Alfred and sister ships.

                        I must have missed the gist somewhere the first time.
                        On a US government building I too agree. The largest Flag or the tallest pole it should fly alone. Representing America as a whole and never any other group separately from the rest.

                            My mind may be going but I doubt it will ever go that far!

                              I used to fly the confederate battle flag on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. But because of the way our Nation is going down hill, I stopped. I did because both Union and Southern soldiers were fighting for a cause in the U.S.
