Controversy and Celebration at White House Pride Month Events
U.S. Senator Roger Marshall accused President Joe Biden of violating federal flag code by hanging a pair of U.S. flags straddling a colorful flag honoring LGBTQ rights from the White House balcony. Twitter users denounced Marshall's claim, pointing out that a U.S. flag was flying atop the White House during the LGBTQ event, and that the commander in chief of U.S. armed forces could alter, modify, repeal or add to rules pertaining to display of the U.S. flag whenever appropriate or desirable.
