Republicans "bug up" the federal budget law with a "gay flag" and Biden will act!

The White House described the addition of the ban on US embassies around the world raising the LGBT flag to the government funding bill as “abusive,” stressing that President Joe Biden will work to repeal it.

Some American embassies began raising the gay flag during the administration of former President Barack Obama. Former Republican President Donald Trump banned raising it at US embassies, while the Biden administration rescinded the ban shortly after entering the White House.
