House Republicans led by Representative Jeff Duncan (R-SC) have introduced a new bill to ban embassies from flying the rainbow flag.
A bill introduced in the House Foreign Affairs Committee would prohibit the flying of any flag other than the United States flag over United States diplomatic and consular posts, and for other purposes.
While the bill bans embassies from flying any flag besides the American flag, embassies have flown the rainbow flag on numerous occasions to support LGBTQ equality, and the bills sponsors have not pointed to any other flag that theyre worried about.
The United States flag is the single greatest symbol of freedom the world has ever known, and theres no reason for anything but Old Glory to be flying over our embassies and posts around the globe, Duncans office said in a statement.

I hope it's not necessary, but:
