WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US President Joe Biden bowed to pressure from conservatives in the House of Representatives and agreed to ban the display of LGBT* Pride flags at US embassies overseas to secure a $1 trillion funding bill and avoid a shutdown this weekend, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Along with
LGBT flags, the deal will likewise prohibit the flying of Confederate or pro-Trump "Make America Great Again" flags at US embassies, the report said.
