Donald Trump has reportedly just banned Pride and Black Lives Matter flags

Part 1 of 2

President Donald Trump has reportedly issued a ban on both the Black Lives Matter and Pride flags just days after taking office.

Trump’s presidency has certainly started with a lot of attention.

He signed 25 executive orders, including one to halt the TikTok ban, change immigration policies, and make a statement declaring that there are “only two genders” in the United States.

Now, he’s targeting two specific flags that have become symbols for many Americans.

Under the State Department’s new ‘one flag policy,’ U.S. embassies and missions abroad are no longer allowed to fly the Pride or BLM flags, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

This new directive specifies that only three non-American flags can be displayed, aside from the U.S. national flag.

These flags include the Prisoner of War, Missing in Action, and Hostage of Wrongful Detainee flags.

According to a report by the Beacon, the order states: “Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content.”

The Senate approved this order unanimously on Monday, January 20, with a 99-0 vote.

Both the Pride and BLM flags had previously been flown at U.S. embassies, such as the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Brazil, which raised the BLM flag in February 2022 to “commemorate Black History Month.”
