Multiple US embassies were denied permission by the Trump administration to fly the rainbow pride flag from their flagpoles to commemorate LBGTQ Pride Month, two senior State Department officials told CNN
Embassies are required to get permission from the State Department when flying anything besides the American flag on their main flagpoles. At the US Embassy in Berlin, which was one of the locations denied permission this year, flying the rainbow flag in the month of June had previously been simply"a routine thing that happens every year," one source said.
In a statement to CNN that reads like a most diplomatic rebuke of what seems to be a new policy, Grenell said,"The President's recognition of Pride Month and his tweet encouraging our decriminalization campaign gives me even more pride to once again march in the Berlin Pride parade, hang a huge banner on the side of the Embassy recognizing our pride, host multiple events at the Embassy and the residence, and fly the gay pride flag.
