Trump administration bans gay flag on embassies’ flagpoles, but it does not reverse Trump’s campaign to make homosexuality legal around the world
After
the backlash of evangelical leaders
condemning the declaration of U.S. President
Donald Trump endorsing LGBT Pride Month, his administration decided to defuse
the bad repercussion by banning the gay flag on the embassies’ flagpoles.

By the new directive, diplomats are allowed
to display the gay symbols and flag elsewhere, including on embassy walls and
inside buildings. The only exclusion is the flagpoles. LifeSiteNews said, “the
directive appears to be less about rejecting the homosexual agenda than it is
about reserving the official flagpole for the nations being represented.”
Several U.S. embassies are finding other
ways to show the gay flag.
“The President’s recognition of [Gay] Pride
Month and his tweet encouraging our decriminalization campaign gives me even
more pride to once again march in the Berlin [Gay] 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,” U.S. Ambassador
to Germany Richard Grenell, a homosexual “conservative” married to another
homosexual, said. A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Germany added, “the
pride flag will be on as many places as it can at the Embassy.”
U.S. diplomats at several embassies,
including in South Korea and India, have draped LGBT flags over their building
facades, while the U.S. ambassador in New Delhi illuminated the building in
rainbow lights, and several other ambassadors released photos and videos of
staffers themselves demonstrating for homosexual “pride.”
Ambassador Randy Berry, an open homosexual
married to another homosexual, tweeted,
“Today, along with the U.S. Mission in
Nepal community, I join people around the world in celebrating Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender, & Intersex #PrideMonth, and reaffirm the U.S.
commitment to defending human rights for all. #Pride2019.”
So Trump’s decision, even though barring
the gay flag on flagpoles, does not bars embassies from using their other spaces
to celebrate homosexuality.
His decision in no way revokes his declaration
endorsing LGBT Pride Month and launching a global campaign to make
homosexuality legal around the world.
Trump has a mixed record on LGBT issues.
He has defended religious freedom, opposed gender ideology in the military,
public schools, and staffed his administration with various pro-family leaders.
On the other hand, Trump has nominated a
variety of homosexualist figures to judgeships and other government posts, and
continued a number of Obama-era pro-LGBT policies. He also declared after the
2016 election that the Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling forcing
all fifty states to recognize homosexual “marriage” was “settled law.”
More recently, Trump
saw no problem in the open homosexuality of Pete Buttigieg, who is a
homosexual married to another homosexual and aspirates to be the first
homosexual president of the United States.
This “new” attitude of Trump is barely
new. His
history reveals a man who always sought to please both sides. For many
years he donated to conservative and Christians groups and, at the same time,
to homosexualist groups.
Yet, his attempt to please both sides can
backfire. In political terms, he gets nothing by compromising to homosexualists.
And he can lose everything if he advances his campaign to make homosexuality
legal around the world, because his re-election is dependent on evangelicals
who do not accept legal sodomy, not on homosexualists who hate him for banning
their flag from the embassies’ flagpoles.
Sodomy
is reigning so powerfully in the U.S. that even when homosexualists are allowed
to put their symbols and flags in all spaces of the U.S. embassies, they will
be not happy if they are not given the flagpoles. Christians would rejoice if
the U.S. embassies gave to them the freedom to put Christian symbols and flags in
all spaces of the U.S. embassies even if not given the flagpoles.
Trump’s decision is not hindering
homosexualists from flying their flags on the flagpoles. LGBTQNation run the headline, “Embassies worldwide are
defying Trump & flying the Pride flag without permission.”
Last September, LGBTQNation
attacked my Christian view on a whole month dedicated to celebrate pride in homosexual
sex.
When left-wing Obama supported the
homosexual agenda, he led the world in a very bad example, and he was supported
by left-wingers around the world and opposed by conservative Christians.
Now right-wing Trump supports the same
agenda and leads the world in the same bad example by launching his campaign to
make homosexuality legal around the world. Whether homosexualists and
left-wingers will accept or not Trump’s policy of pleasing both sides remains
to be seen.
And it remains to be seen also if
conservative Christians will oppose or not his effort to make legal what God
has clearly condemned.
