In previous years, flying the Pride Flag on official embassy flagpoles was permitted in the month of June but there has been an obvious shift. Since the news came out of the display request being denied, it seemed like a complete 180-degree shift from the Trump's tweet last month to"celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made."
