No Flags for You

Early in Donald Trump's administration, I devoted more than a few entries on this blog to documenting how his promise to be pro-LGBT was a giant lie. Many media outlets have done the same (example here). Trump has been resoundingly anti-LGBT.

This week we saw yet another example. The Trump Administration has prohibited American embassies around the world from flying the rainbow pride flag below the American flag during Pride Month (details here).

During President Obama's administration, embassies were given blanket permission to fly rainbow flags below the American flags on official flagpoles.

Why the change? Why do we even ask? Trump lied to LGBT Americans just like he incessantly lies to every American. Fortunately, most Americans now know he's a habitual liar who can never be trusted.
