"US Spending Bill Prohibits Pride Flags at Embassies, Sparks Controversy"

Pride flags have been banned from being flown at US embassies as a result of the $1.2 trillion spending package signed by President Biden, following a long-standing debate between Democrats and Republicans. The ban, included in the 1,012-page package, has sparked criticism from LGBTQ advocates and the Biden administration, with plans to seek a way to repeal the ban. This move comes after a history of back-and-forth decisions on the flying of pride flags at US embassies, with the latest ban not imposing limits on other displays of pride flags or LGBTQ+ events.
