It's great to see other countries defying Trump's hateful homophobia :thumbsup

"U.S. embassies across the globe are flying rainbow flags in honor of Pride Month, despite the Trump’s refusal to grant permission for embassies to display their support of the LGBTQ community."

US embassies worldwide defy Trump’s by flying rainbow flags for Pride Month

The State Department under President Donald Trump denied diplomats’ request to fly rainbow flags in June. That move is a reversal from President Barack Obama’s State Department, and also a reversal from last year when, as Time notes, “all requests to fly pride flags on embassy flagpoles were approved by the State Department.” According to the Washington Post, the policy changed when Mike Pompeo was confirmed as Secretary of State.

Despite the lack of approval, U.S. embassies in New Delhi, India, Seoul, South Korea and Chennai, India are all flying the rainbow flag. Additionally, Time reports, “the website of the U.S. Embassy in Vienna featured a photo of the Pride flag hanging below the American flag from International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia in May.”

U.S. embassies worldwide are also honoring Pride Month on social media, including a post by U.S. Ambassador to Nepal Randy Berry which features himself and the embassy staff holding rainbow-colored letters that spell “Pride 19.”

so... no evidence of a "flag" or of rogue state department employees who would be dismissed immediately for injecting their personal politics into their job and possibly offending their host nation?

shocking.

less shocking however, is your lack of even a basic understanding of what foreign diplomats do.

Bladewire Media presents More Fake News

This was done every year until Trump.....

That’s no reason to continue it. 1 flag. Old glory

Who gives a shit? It's an embassy that is a guest in another country, for a diplomatic mission.. not a mouth piece for random radical domestic political agendas for fringe groups. The flag is a nations symbol. That's the whole point of a flag on an embassy/consulate.

Maybe you think Pakistan should fly an ISIS flag worldwide and that's ok? Or should they just stick to flying their own flag as all countries should?

Dumbass.

The idiot thinks Gay pride month is "political" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh the Squeeler really is bottom rung dumb :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You can bet the idiot thinks Black history Month is political too :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Fuck you you piece of shit homophobic racist cunt. Nobody cares what you think and you have no power in this world aside from hating people online and recycling shity old content.

Gays want all the attention, until they actually get it. Nobody would have cared about the flag being up for a month if yall would have just stfu about it.

↑↑↑ Loves the taste of transgender pussy but hates Gay people & white people. Just your typical homophobic racist piece of shit.

Dead eye is angry he can't be a trump supporter because he hates white people, that's the only difference between him and Trump supporters, they all hate the same people except for a Dead eye hates white people, not blacks likes Trump supporters..

^another lie from the weirdo who claims he's gay, but breeded.

You confused about yourself and the entire world around you bro.

↑↑↑ Thrives on thinking he's better than white people & Gay people and wishes hate on all white Americans with his fantasy of his minorities taking over America by 2040. He's just your typical broken man with low self-esteem that needs somebody to hate to feel he has value :2 cents:

^^ Posting hate-speech while accusing others of posting hate speech...

We are all powerless. But one thing for sure, I have more power than you.

I never recycle content. I shoot 6 scenes a week on the east coast and 1 a week on the west. You really believe what you read I see

Ain't nobody flying the African American flag on embassies for black history month bro... that's the difference between normal people and your type.

When the last time you seen one of these on an embassy?

You know how dumb that would look? That's how the pride flag looks on an embassy to normal people.

We supposed to be one nation under God indivisible and all that, right? Why yall dont want to claim old glory like the rest of us when representing this country?

This is really a nonsense story once again blown out of proportion by bladelire.

The truth is that under Obama embassies around the world were able to fly the rainbow flag without approval from the US government.
Trump's government has made it mandatory to now get special permission to fly the flag.

Bare in mind that homosexuality is still illegal in 70 countries and flying the flag can cause serious security risks to personnel.

The president has been praised worldwide for his stance on the decriminalisation of homosexuality in these 70 countries. He has even supported the flying of huge banners supporting the movement as well as special activities to raise awareness.

Of course, this is in places where HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT ILLEGAL.

Of course, dumbass bladelier won't get it. He will call me a homophobic peice of shit and accuse me of promoting hate speech.

Looks like SNL sketch except funnier :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

this. I love the Pride flag and think it would be awesome if every city and state flew it on their home turf, but we are talking about embassies that are in other people's countries, some of which are still structurally and culturally very homophobic

I live in Jamaica, it is dangerous to be an openly gay male or trans female here. violence is always a risk. this is pretty common as a phase in post-colonial 'periphery' nations

JA doesn't explicitly outlaw homosexuality but butt sex and 'obscene' (whatever that means, ahem) sexual acts among males are illegal and support and protection for gay men and trans folk is pretty weak across the board. hell, a prominent gay rights lawyer from here actually moved to Canada a few years back because he was getting so many death threats

I have several gay male friends here and only one of them is out of the closet, and he doesn't speak to his parents anymore cuz they disowned him when he came out :/

it's gotten a lot better over the years, when I first started visiting here about 15 years ago it was not uncommon to hear folks talk openly and publicly about harming 'batty men'. the younger (30's and under) generation is vastly different, they tend not to give a fuck. the one out dude I know here is my upstairs neighbor and all the security and maintenance peeps who work here don't care, he's just Karl to them

right now flying the Pride flag on an embassy here would not be productive. right now JA gay men aren't wanting to be 'celebrated' (though they should be), right now under current conditions they just don't want to be killed or discriminated against. the Pride flag here does nothing but cause controversy that resolves nothing and creates a discussion platform for bigots to spew their hate

that was demonstrated after the Orlando massacre, when the US embassy did raise the rainbow in solidarity with the victims of that shooting. and wow did every homophobic mofo come crawling out of the woodwork talking shit about the imposition of babylon. it was not helpful to the cause of gay rights

at the time even the attorney general here called the flag 'disrespectful' to JA culture, that's what this country is dealing with right now

it's not right, but it's the reality. gay rights movements aren't a monolithic bloc and it's actually disrespectful to gay people to impose NA norms in a non-NA context

that said both me and Karl have beautiful translucent rainbow stickers on our windows that glow in the sunshine

Thanks Obama! (You were the coolest and bravest president. Too bad the current guy is such a pussy.)

Yeah that's cool, but there's no need to promote this stuff on government buildings. Trump will not cave to demands from radical fringe groups. If he does, then I demand that all embassies fly the straight pride flag as well.

How many countries is it legal to fuck pigs in? Since it's a fetish of yours I hope by God you checked the legalities.

Why not? Gay people scored a huge victory. It was a cool of Obama to do that and was a clear sign of acceptance.

^acceptance and equality does not = special needs treatment unless you want that special attention they seem to cry about when they get it.. after asking for it.

What the fuck is wrong with you idiots?

What is there to accept?

Maybe bladewire likes to suck cock. So what? why do I have to have it thrust into my face? Why do I have to have an opinion on it one way or another?

I don't.

Why should i ever even know what anyone's sexual proclivities are???

I shouldn't.

You guys are all so full of shit with your fake outrage and phony virtual signaling. No one needs to know about anyone elses sexual habits are and no one need to have a parade, walking around in assless chaps, throwing dildos at the crowd to demonstrate "pride".

Pride means you are comfortable in your own skin and you don't need a parade for that. You definitely don't need to be throwing your own behaviors in everyone's face, demanding they accept it (something they shouldn't even know about) and then calling them names and attacking them if they don't want it shoved in their face.

The other thing that pisses me off about you fuckwits and your fake causes is the double standards. Any gay guy can say vagina makes him sick and fuckwits like you all giggle and laugh and agree and understand so you can pat yourselves on the back for being "progressive".

If i say "fucking a guy in the ass is a little repulsive to me", i get attacked and called names by you same fake jerkoffs.

If you're gay... be gay. I don't give a fuck. If you want to want to be kick fucked down the street by your wife... fine. Thats your private business. Don't shove it in everyone's face. I don't need to know anything about your sex life... you don't need to know about mine. That should be fucking common sense to anyone who is not an unhinged idiot waiting for fake causes to align themselves with to impress peers.

This is why you guys have to call people names like racist and bigot and white supremacist and nazi etc... because you can't argue a simple point with logic and reason. You just run on emotion and anger.

Nothing is more idiotic than a gay "pride" parade... and all of the behaviors of those same people who demand "acceptance". If you're identity is "i suck dick an love it in the ass and you have to love me for that and that alone or your a bigot", then want nothing to do with you.

You can't demand "tolerance" by acting like an intolerant cunt and demanding respect and acceptance.

If your identity is "i'm a great person and a great accountant and love sports" or whatever... then thats awesome and we can be friends and hang out. I don't need to know where you put your dick.... just like anyone else we deal with in life. You dont start a conversation with a woman with her demanding you accept whatever she puts in her pussy or else you're a horrible person. You certainly don't need her creating situations where you have to start explaining her private sexual proclivities to young children or have her thrust it in their faces either.

bingo :thumbsup

:bowdown TRUTH

Yet also no reason for it not to continue...

No it wasn't.

thanks for posting this, it makes clear a point I was trying to make earlier that failed. kinda buried the plot

in post-colonial periphery nations homosexuality (esp male) is perceived as an import from the exploitative west. here that's called babylon

one of the biggest challenges for J-FLAG here is pushing the message that LGBT folk are Jamaicans. that for some being gay is innate to the personal experience of being Jamaican in Jamaica


same in so many post-colonial African nations, virulent homophobia is a legacy of the systems that denied peeps their cultures and local men any real power. gender roles got really rigid and stratified, with the xian influence on top of that.

indigenous peeps generally did not have a problem with boys kissing boys until the Europeans came along. lots of exceptions of course, but even when homosexuality was not recognized or even spoken about it existed. for example amongst the many groups working in the diamond mines as migrant workers in Southern Africa one male in the couple would be female in private dress and mannerisms. but both big man a yard in public

the rainbow flag is seen as a product of babylon and serves only to position being gay as an evil outside influence. that's why the flag is not right for this place, right now. Jamaican people need to design the fight on their own terms and they are doing that. and this society is quickly coming around to joining them

haha Cruc, thanks for inspiring me. still waiting for improperly cooked military beans to turn me totally gay

nobody cared about gays in my country until they started the parades and the flags...they are not doing themselves any favors with this "witness our gayness" stuff and it is obviously a western financed agenda that pisses us off even more...

it is one thing for people to fight against discrimination in courts and through the legal system, but a completely different thing to block streets and organize violent events where riot police have to be used to control the masses...

It's great still seeing the Gay Pride flag flying embassies all around the world today. A win for Gay equality worldwide :thumbsup
