"White House Fights Ban on Pride Flags at US Embassies"

The White House criticized Congressional Republicans for including a provision in the government funding bill that restricts the flying of LGBTQ+ Pride flags over U.S. embassies and pledged to repeal it, emphasizing President Biden's commitment to LGBTQ+ equality. While the provision doesn't explicitly ban Pride flags, it limits funds for displaying only certain flags, prompting the administration to continue working with Congress to overturn it. Biden signed the bipartisan bill to avert a government shutdown, and the White House highlighted its success in defeating other policy riders targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
