I repeatedly am embarassed by the behavior and positions of the president on the world stage. An example, albeit small, is the recent ban on flying pride flags. The Trump administration banned the flying of pride flags at our embassies abroad during pride month. I think this action shows Trump’s true colors when it comes to defending the rights of the LGBT community. He is not a friend. The administration claims to support the LGBT community but then bans the flying of the flag.
Several embassies have chosen to get around this ban by putting flags and banners on their buildings I especially like the tweet fron Nepal for both their sentiment (said eloquently) and their creativity.
Today, along with the U.S. Mission in Nepal community, I join people around the world in celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, & Intersex #PrideMonth, and reaffirm the U.S. commitment to defending human rights for all. #Pride2019 pic.twitter.com/5awKWtcP80

In contrast to Trump’s position on human rights, the photograph at the top is a sign from a CHURCH. Now, that is genuine support for human rights.
