OPEN NUDITY ON SOUTH LAWN OF WHITE HOUSE DURING PRIDE EVENT?
President Joe Biden’s administration has come under fire on social media and the organization Judicial Watch for the gaudy Pride Month flag display at the White House. Some are saying the White House display of the LGBTQ flag, which has not only a rainbow but transgender-themed colors, violates the US Flag Code.
On Saturday, Biden celebrated the LGBTQ+ community by unfurling a display of three flags, shown above in a White House photo, hanging from the White House, facing the South Lawn. The display prominently featured a rainbow-colored LGBTQ+ flag, flanked by two American flags.
There are as many as 30 different LGBTQ flags currently on the market, but the one chosen for the occasion is an amalgam of various themes known as the pride flag.
Critics argue that the arrangement of the flags violates a specific section of the US Flag Code, which stipulates the American flag should be positioned in the center when multiple national flags or pennants are displayed together.
Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch contends that by placing the pride flag in the center, the administration has disregarded this provision.
“To advance revolutionary transgender agenda targeting children, Biden violates basic tenet of US Flag Code and disrespects every American service member buried under its colors,” Fitton said.
Fitton referred to US Flag Code §7. (e), which explicitly states, “The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.”
While some argue that the administration’s arrangement of the flags was a deliberate violation, others contend that the pride flag, as a symbol of inclusion and support for the LGBTQ+ community, deserved its prominent placement at the center between two American flags.
The US Flag Code is a set of guidelines rather than enforceable laws, and violations of its provisions carry no legal penalties. The code was established to provide guidance on respectful flag display and proper flag etiquette.
In addition to the flag flop, there appears to have been some open nudity at the event, as captured by video (you can watch below without having a Twitter account):
Biden’s remarks at the event also raised questions. He said that gay people can be thrown out of restaurants in America.
“When a person can be married in the morning but thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, something is still very wrong in America,” the president said, a statement many believe is a falsehood. Biden used the statement to push the Equality Act, which would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected special classes.
Last week, the president announced that he will appoint a gay czar — a new federal coordinator to fight the banning of pornographic books in schools across America. He is expected to unleash new Department of Homeland Security-led efforts with the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services to focus more taxpayer dollars on mental health counselors to groom youth into making the decision to transition to be transgender.
