" ... that the White House’s “celebration” featured the so-called Pride flag carefully located in between and higher than two U.S. flags surrounding it, which was itself a grotesque violation of flag etiquette, and metaphorically suggested that Pride governs the United States."
" ... that the White House’s “celebration” featured the so-called Pride flag carefully located in between and higher than two U.S. flags surrounding it, which was itself a grotesque violation of flag etiquette, and metaphorically suggested that Pride governs the United States."
Specifically,
"(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag’s right."
And it's very likely that a protocol officer at the White House made mention of it, to no avail, since it's likely done as yet another provocation, hoping that at least some on our side will react in such a way that we can be portrayed as 'evil' and perhaps locked up for years like the J6 defendants.
Listen, I don't disagree with the sentiment, but the pride flag is not higher than the US flags, it's not an equal level. The angle of the photograph and the curvature of the balcony make it look higher.

Who should be enforcing this protocol? Has anyone in Congress mentioned this violation?
Write to your representatives. It should be challenged.

Great idea...will do now!
We the people should be enforcing this! 🇺🇸
They don't care. It doesn't pay them.
when the Brandon administration ignores other laws why would they care about this code?
