The US Department of State has issued a ban on consular posts flying any flags other than that of the United States, part of a wider initiative to curb diversity efforts initiated during the Trump administration. The memo indicates that no flags, including those representing gay pride or Black Lives Matter, may be displayed, reflecting a conservative backlash against displays of diversity. Exceptions for the POW/MIA and wrongful detainees flags remain. This ban follows Trump's executive orders aimed at halting DEI programs and reinforcing traditional gender classifications.
Only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at US facilities, both domestic and abroad.
This decision follows several White House executive orders signed on Trump's first day in office calling for US federal agencies to halt all DEI programs.
