  According to him.
context: So they're going to ditch all the Trump flags as well? >
  
  Also the thin blue line flags >
  
  They actually really bother me. I consider myself a patriot, and that burning a flag in protest is 100% American. But these blue lives matter people co-opt the flag and use it to further their own cause. 
  Fly the flag, burn the flag; but don’t alter the flag and insist you’re keeping its original meaning. >
  
  My job has me driving around rural pennsylvania all day and there are some truly disturbing flags. The two standouts are an American flag made to look like it's burning away only to reveal the blue lives flag underneath.  The other one is more direct...its an American flag hanging vertically with a pair of hands pulling it back superman style to reveal a confederate flag underneath.  Traitors pretending to be patriots...I just don't get it. >
  
  I live in a rural area and the evolution of the flags has always been so funny to me… One person with a “democrats not welcome here” flag evolved into a “democrats suck” flag evolved into a “biden sucks” flag and then after hurricane ian it wasn’t replaced. Others with trump signs either ripping off or spray painting over pence’s name… way to show all of your cards. >
  
  In my town there are still Trump / Pence 2020 signs about 100 yards from the building they use to vote >
  
  Says the party that waves Confederate flags... >
  
  They never specified which Stars and Stripes. >
  
  I've seen Confederate flags made out of rainbows, let's start flying them outside their offices >
  
  A rainbow flag is just a rainbow. The thin blue line flag, otoh, mocks the Stars and Stripes. >
  
  As does the Confederate flag. Ban them! 
  And you're technically not supposed to wear the flag etc and we know which side is way over that line. >
  
  Its really not supposed to be defaced at all, like being used as decoration for trucks. >
  
  I hate the giant ones pulled by trucks. Driving over 90 on the interstate shreds them, which doesn't really seem like a good way to honor it. >
  
  The drag is also a great way to make sure your bro dozer gas mileage stays well below 10 mpg. >
  
  There was a biker that would have a bunch or big ass flag in tow. It destroyed his clutch eventually, Harley Davidson said we are not replacing it you did needless damage.
  Big uproar over it. >
  
  "How dare you hold me responsible for my actions!"
  Gee, I wonder who they vote for.... >
  
  I wonder if they'd be okay with us also banning all their wierd righty flags? Like the thin blue line flag, the confederate flag, the "don't tread one me" flag. >
  
  Don't forget the POW-MIA flag. >
  
  I still remember when some members of the right got extremely pissed off a year or two ago over seeing a flag they were convinced belonged to BLM/Antifa.
  It was the POW-MIA flag. >
  
  This happened to me too, they were on nextdoor mad about it flying at the post office, but it was the POW flag, not the "Antifa" like they were screaming about. As if the post office was going to put up an Antifa flag 🙄 >
  
  I have a better idea. Let’s ban Republicans 🙃🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 >
  
  They’ll just reband again >
  
  Thankfully they're not known for being a subtle bunch >
  
  Republicans in Congress want to ban free speech.   For a group that supposedly loves the USA, they sure don't like it's freedoms. >
  
  While I don't like the idea, how is banning the pride flag on buildings the government owns in foreign countries banning free speech? They're not tell you that you can't fly the flag just government buildings. What if in a foreign embassy there are rabid right wingers who want to fly the Confederate flag. Can the government stop that? >
  
  Because a symbol of treason and oppression is totally comparable to a symbol of the fight for equality...
  GTFOH >
  
  That's why I said I'm not in favor of this. But when people say if against the first amendment or against free speech what's the difference?  What about a White lives matter flag? It's not a flag that supports treason. Would that be ok? I guess too, it's a government buildings. Should the government decide what's allowed on it's buildings? >
  
  
  “No other flag or symbol better portrays our shared values than the Stars and Stripes,”
  What about a White lives matter flag? 
  
  These have been pretty synonymous for the majority of US history.  What this bill would do is prevent foreign administrators, with the authority and will to do so, from signaling support for other lives as well. 
  It’s an extension of the GOPs Cruelty Is The Point^tm policy positions. >
  
  
  "No other flag or symbol better portrays our shared values than the Stars and Stripes
  
  They should include to ban the Confederate Flag too. >
  
  Especially that.  It is the flag of The Enemy.  It's the flag of treason.  Someone should market Union flags, American flags as they were during the Civil War, as carried by union army regiments, as the antithesis of the confederate flag.  
  Now that would be patriotic. >
  
  They do, from cheap nylon up to the embroidered pieced cotton... Get em on Amazon >
  
  Serously??  Thanks!  I'm going to check that out. >
  
  Quick history lesson
  The union didn't remove the stars of the Confederate states, and over the course of the war added a couple states 
  The arrangement of stars during that time wasn't prescribed, and you can find examples of different layouts that were used >
  
  This new rainbow scare is as pathetic as it is dangerous, but it will not win. >
  
  This one probably will.  It's ridiculous to think that any flag other than the American flag would be flown at a US embassy.  Do what you want at home.  Embassies aren't personal property and there should be rules about what flags are flown there.  It's just not the appropriate place to advertise your personal politics. >
  
  
  In a statement, Greene said the bill will “prevent Hate America flags from flying over American embassies.”
  
  Imagine what it must be like inside the mind of someone who considers tolerance, respect, empathy, and love as hatred for America. That says a great deal about the type of America they want. 
  
  Her statement went on to say that BLM is a “radical Marxist group” and “domestic terrorists” who want to “bring mass destruction to our country through Communism.”
  
  Oh look, right-wing Mad Libs. >
  
  Go ahead and let them ban them.
  Then pull your flag out and fly that mother fucker high and proud.
  I'mma say this and walk away:
  As a stakeholder of the United States, my constitutional right of freedom of expression supersedes any statutory law my employees might try to pass. >
  
  I’d say the same thing about Cannabis use. >
  
  Kinda hypocritical from the "free speech absolutist" people. >
  
  They only want free speech if it means they can use the Hard R.... >
  
  Many of these Republicans love the US and the Stars and Stripes flag so much, but they won't speak out against the Confederate flag at all.
  At least two of the names I see listed for this are Georgia Republicans and the Georgia state flag is basically the original Confederate battle flag. The Confederates actually changed to the flag everyone recognizes as the 'Confederate Flag' because the original battle flag looked too much like the US flag that it confused Confederate forces in battle as to which side was which.
  ​
  That flag is the Georgia state flag (with like an added yellow symbol to it) >
  
  I hate "new congress spams us with meaningless bills that'll die in committee" season. >
  
  Have these fools ever heard of the 1st Amendment? >
  
  They've only heard of the 2nd. >
  
  I could see them trying to violate the third. >
  
  This is why it's laughable when these fascists make "free speech" arguments. They're far less tolerant of ideas different from theirs. >
  
  They support the constitution, except when they don't want free expression. >
  
  If that also means no MAGA, Trump, blue lives, or Gadsden flags I say deal. >
  
  ...Says the party that flies the Confederate flag, Blue Lives flags and Trump flags, without a shred of irony. >
  
  This is a classic case of a misleading headline. This bill will not completely ban the use of rainbow flags entirely in the United States, as the title suggests, but instead ban any flags except for the U.S. national flag and military-related flags from being flown at U.S. embassies and other diplomatic sites. Still, it's very unlikely to pass. >
  
  This source should be banned TBH, the fuck is this title >
  
  For me, seeing the US flag these days doesn’t evoke a sense of pride or patriotism…more like a heavy sigh and questioning like “what’s the deal with this person?”  It just feels like the meaning has been perverted somehow. If I see a rainbow flag I’m like “ okay, that’s cool” and go on about my business without giving it a second thought. >
  
  Hawaii license plates have entered the conversation. >
  
  I have to disagree. I think the Nazi, Confederate and Russian flags perfectly portray their shared values. >
  
  Republicans don't care about about America, for sure. >
  
  They only care about what they can extract. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Republicans scoff at such notions. >
  
  The first amendment would like a word with the current GOP. >
  
  And they accuse liberals of engaging in "cancel culture." >
  
  The GOP suddenly hates the 1st Amendment >
  
  Well most them never read it, so…. >
  
  GOP has no policy beyond culture wars and are dragging this country so far back it’s just downright sad to witness for so many of the Americans impacted by such a narrow minded and callous minority. >
  
  So the trump flags, confederate flags, police flags all have to go too, military flags too. No one cares who someone is the bill is stating let’s honor the bill for these crazy in American law makers. Bill is a joke vote. >
  
  So let’s ban Confederate flags because no other flag spreads hate and divisiveness. They won’t see it that way. >
  
  Then why do I see desecrated USA flags in the form of black and white with a blue line, cross instead of stars, and all the other stupid shit on people's cars. Lots of punisher fans out there, why not make it an American flag skull. >
  
  Sounds like a first amendment violation to me. >
  
  the same people who desecrate the American flag with blue stripes, or as all black and white? >
  
  The solution is to turn their shitty dog whistle blue line flags into rainbow stars and stripes. >
  
  They should ban the thin blue line on the black and white American flags. >
  
  Okay, so the ban includes the confederate flag too, right? >
  
  Confederate flags better be in that bill. >
  
  Would this also ban all the other flags, too? The yellow snek, the starsnbars, orang 2024, etc? >
  
  Yet they fight so hard for the confederate flag to be preserved AND most flags you see flown are for Trump, QANON, Tea Party, or just meant to be outwardly crude. They aren’t against flags, they’re against people that aren’t them. >
  
  There are no shared values. It's Republicans vs. Sane People. They have managed to divide this country and quite honestly as.long as lunatics like DickSantis and MTG are around, it will never recover. >
  
  as they worship the confederate flag. >
  
  "Okay, so how about you ban the Confederate flag too."
  "Not like that." >
  
  Because, you know, they are the “freedom party.” SMH. >
  
  T'would be awesome if Biden flew a rainbow flag right under the American flag at the White House!! hint, hint, hint...... >
  
  This will definitely pass in the Senate and then be signed into law by President Biden. >
  
  It’s inspiring to see how hard the new republican congress is working to address the major problems we currently face….s/ >
  
  The Republican Party, the party of freedumb . . . >
  
  Funny they don’t seem to have any inclination to ban the traitorous confederate flag. >
  
  They want to ban any flag from being flown at US embassies around the world besides the US national flag. This include BLM, LGBT+, and politically affiliated flags. 
  If it were so blatantly homophobic in the language, I might see a valid argument for this. But in against this because out embassies are statements in other countries and need to make statements to those countries. We are not a neutral nation when dealing with other countries. We need to support what is right and supporting lgbt+ rights is the just thing to do. Flying a flag in a foreign nation is a small thing but we can't ban that. >
  
  What embassies have flown sports flags or Trump flags over them? >
  
  Focusing on the things that really matter. Great job  everyone! >
  
  I'm guessing Republicans would be okay with Trump flags, confederate battle flags and the Gadsden flag. Just more culture wars because that's what they think will win them elections, despite the fact that there's no evidence to support that. >
  
  What about real rainbows? Is god gay or something then? How do we gay-away rainbows in imagery? 
  ^ just trying to match the Republicans logic and tone 
  Let's ban confederate flags too! >
  
  So what happened to believing in the constitution and specifically the 1st amendment? If you ban rainbow flags you censure ideas, which directly conflicts with the 1st amendment we hear so many Republicans hoot and holler about. >
  
  Sounds like a violation of the First Amendment. >
  
  Won't pass senate >
  
  If this shit passes I am going to become a vandal parody satire it's parody and satire >
  
  Fine. Get rid of your fascist blue lines first. >
  
  Bet they’re all big “thin blue line” fans, though. >
  
  Well maybe explain to 'patriots' how it works. You are not supposed to fly a US flag 24 hrs a day in all weather. 
  TN had tons of patriots and US flags, all were faded and torn from flying for months on end. My former marine super patriot neighbor had 2 US flags, both flew 24 hrs until one blew away in a storm. Then the 2nd flag blew away in a storm, he replaced it, next storm took the pole down. The flag laid in his yard for 3 days, all while ranting about 'traitors'. >
  
  Who’s “shared values”?   Neighbor across the street flies an ‘Old Glory,’ and in kinda afraid of them even though I’ve not met them. >
  
  Next order of business is to ban Froot Loops!!! 😤 >
  
  Do no state, city flags? >
  
  So also the Confederate flag then? >
  
  Destroy and Abolish the Republican Party. Dissolve and decimate the RNC. >
  
  How are these guys in power in modern day America? Did they pick some medieval sermon from the dark ages and decided they want to live by those ideals or something? >
  
  To right wingers, the rainbow flag is their version of the confederate flag. >
  
  They sure are big on free speech. >
  
  Especially the stars and X-shaped stripes, this BS never ends. >
  
  Rainbow is in the bible though. >
  
  Nazi flags are fair game, though. >
  
  Starting to get like Northern Ireland… >
  
  I'll start by saying this is total bullshit and of course a 1st amendment violation if passed. That said what about little kids who like rainbows? No rainbows for them? Little kids like bright colorful things and not much tops a rainbow. >
  
  I thought they campaigned on fixing inflation and crime?  How does this help? >
  
  More literal fascism at 11. >
  
  The thin blue line flag is very much more defacing to the American flag >
  
  Anything that is supported and advanced by the rocket scientist brigade of MTG, Gaetz and Gohmert is going to be a bad idea. >
  
  So are we also banning the confederate flag? >
  
  What platform do they have that isn’t culture war bullshit? This is absolutely idiotic. >
  
  “No other flag or symbol better portrays our shared values than the Stars and Bars” 
  Fixed it >
  
  I share no values with Republicans, because they hold no values of note. >
  
  Only if they ban the confederate one too. Let’s see how fast they reverse course on that. >
  
  I’m not gay but this is stupid >
  
  Guess they never heard of the first amendment >
  
  But the Confederate flag is A-OK. /s >
  
  Once again the GOP shows its scientific ignorance, and religious bigotry, misogyny, and homophobia >
  
  You so adore the stars and stripes that you used that to beat capitol police on J6.  y'all are effin insane. >
  
  Really? WTF?! So it isn’t the Radical Right who started bastardizing our American Flag to begin with? What about what the back the blue movement? Every time I see a back the blue flag I want to puke! So honestly I don’t give a fuck about a rainbow flag but I sure am pissed when I see bastardized American flags or tattered disrespected ones flying off jacked up trucks!!! >
  
  For those of you who didn’t read the article (most of you) this is just on military bases and embassies >
  
  I'd be fine with this if they ban all other flags as well. >
  
  Better ban those fucking blue line flags too! >
  
  Ban all flags! -i wouldn't miss em. >
  
  Might wanna ban that blue line flag first, just sayin'. >
  
  Christians can’t choose for all of us! >
  
  they sure seem to be trying.. >
  
  Does the U.S. flag now represent "one nation under god" as the pledge of allegiance claims? >
  
  Absolutely not. Even if there was a god for this nation to be under, let's say it is christian flavored, this nation would not pass muster under christian dogma. >
  
  Fascism >
  
  Meanwhile they are probably distributing "Trump" flags and "thin blue line" flags as well as "Gasden" flags. >
  
  So we all should be screaming that the GOP is trying to take away our First Amendment rights and come into our homes and steal all our flags!!
  It starts with this and then they will take all flags.  We cannot give an inch!
  /s of course >
  
  Snowflakes, no wonder they prefer flags of surrender. >
  
  Yeah then ban the stars and bars trump and nazi flags that they like to fly >
  
  wait a moment i thought they were all about the first amendment. >
  
  only when you’re saying what they want to hear… >
  
  yep well aware that's usually the case with people who scream first amendment.  I was being sarcastic. >
  
  The pride flag does not oppose the american flag. In fact, Gay Pride is one of the most american things I can possibly think of. When I think of freedom of expression, the pursuit of happiness, and escaping persecution (which is what the founding fathers broke away from the UK to do, even though they still owned slaves), I can think of no other group that's trying to obtain those three things than LGBTQ+ people.
  You think trying to stifle freedom of expression is american? You're wrong. You think banning books and flags is okay? You're both wrong and unamerican. You think LGBT people abuse kids more than religion does? You're dead wrong. You think sexual education hurts kids? It helps prevent sexual abuse of kids.
  Bottom line, this kind of stuff is the most anti-american thing I can possibly think of, and if you support it, you need to take a serious look at yourself and your values. Especially if you think you value freedom of speech and expression while supporting bullshit like this. >
  
  something about freedom and speech…… >
  
  The party of small government sure does like banning things. >
  
  What about those black and blue “American” flags? I guess those colors do indeed run. >
  
  how about banning the thin blue line flag for quite literally defacing the flag of the united states? >
  
  Everyday I’m proud not to be American >
  
  Our flag is based on white supremacy >
  
  I'm mean it's not >
  
  I mean, it is >
  
  It's the exact opposite actually. >
  
  Nah, it's not >
  
  You can ignore reality all you want but no matter how much propaganda you consume it won't change the fact that you're wrong. >
  
  I read the words of the founders. Sorry, you're wrong >
  
  In that case you would agree to me. "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal" >
  
  Black people were considered as property back then. Even white women didn't fit under "all men are created equal." >
  
  That's how the world was and in spite of that the founders laid down the framework for everyone to actually be equal. No matter how you look at it you're wrong. Our flag doesn't represent white supremacy. And our country isn't racist. >
  
  The headline:
  
  Republicans in Congress want to ban rainbow flags
  
  Wow, that sounds bad.  And unconstitutional.
  The lede:
  
  House Republicans have introduced legislation prohibiting rainbow Pride flags from being flown outside U.S. embassies in other countries.
  
  Oh, that's less worrying.  But wait...
  
  The proposed law would only allow U.S. and military flags flown at embassies and diplomatic facilities
  
  So it doesn't even ban rainbow flags explicitly, simply all flags that aren't U.S. and military flags.  The headline could just as well have been:
  
  Republicans in Congress want to ban Thin Blue Line flags
  
  Great reporting here. >
  
  The practical effect is to ban pride and BLM flags because that's ones that embassies were actually flying in addition to US and military flags. >
  
  I thought you were allowed to put flags up as long as they were lower than the us flag. >
  
  For all those who didn't read the article.... this banning concerns only the flags flown at embassies.
  And I agree with them... the flag you fly over your embassy in  foreign country should be the flag recognized by your entire country. >
  
  It should only be a single national flag >
  
  This thread is embarrassing.  Fuck republican homophobia, but it’s clear shitloads of people didn’t read the article, and are making / upvoting comments that make no sense, and under the impression that this is a ban on private citizens and not just embassies and shit. >
  
  The article headline is clickbaity and misleading af. I can tell from reading the comments here that a lot of you didn't even bother reading the article and don't know what this proposed bill actually says. >
  
  Yeah… fuck republican homophobia, but this thread is embarrassing.  Looking at the comments and upvotes, it’s clear the big majority of people absolutely did not read the article.  So many comments make absolutely no sense unless they only read the headline. >
  
  I know that this is just political red meat to their constituents.  Of course, I think their elderly constituents would be quite annoyed to find that they could know longer use all those seasonal garden flags. >
  
  Freedom caucus has problems with free speech. Quelle surprise. >
  
  Only outside of embassies, not entirely as the headline suggests. It's just more culture war BS. >
  
  they want to ban them flying at US military and overseas locations. meaningless and stupid, but the headline is clickbait. >
  
  In conjunction. They've never taken down the stars and stripes. Pride flags are flown at embassies as a way to show solidarity and love with LGBTQIA+ people everywhere. You'd think the Republicans would want to show they are better than places like Iran or Indonesia, where you can be imprisoned for being queer. Nope! 
  ​
  That's probably because they actually want to turn America into the Christian Iran, sadly. >
  
  Yeah. The Handmaid's Tale is a Republican's wet dream, apparently. >
  
  They disgrace our flag with their greed and bigotry and then demand that it be the only flag flown. Nah. >
  
  When is a banner a flag ? >
  
  This is them being “inclusive” by banning inclusivity. >
  
  Shared Values? What are those? >
  
  Boo! If anything we should be passing bills that require MORE rainbow flags, IMHO. >
  
  If they really believed that, they’d also be discussing the banning of state flags and the confederate flag. But of course, that’s not what this is about. >
  
  The "Free speech" party is scared of rainbow flags. >
  
  Dems should admend it adding Trump, thin-line flags, Confederate flags too. >
  
  Yet another way that the party that says they support the first amendment in its entirely are full of BS. >
  
  OH! Now do the Thin Blue Line flag! >
  
  Freedom of expression. >
  
  Freedom of association is a thing in the first amendment guys. >
  
  I have felt nothing but anger and hatred ever since this shitshow started with Repubs taking the house >
  
  Alright then, let's ban the Confederate flag and the police brutality blue line one. This goes both ways >
  
  Wait what does it mean to “ban all rainbow flags”? Like in congress or what? >
  
  They sure enjoy banning things. >
  
  "Better portrays our shared values."The problem is nobody shares any values with these douches. >
  
  Cool so we will get rid of anything tied to the confederacy and only fly American flags. >
  
  From the party of bigots. >
  
  Pink Floyd be damned… >
  
  Reading Stripes will get more funding on PBS >
  
  This is how republicans build cred with their base, since it’s gonna be shot down they get political points for saying: “we tried to help you” >
  
  Why don't they stop coloring in the lines then? And putting the faces of traitors and jackals all over OUR flag? There's nothing wrong with our flag's design. The colors are fine.
  Work on that first you bigoted racist sexist idiots. Clean up your own shit. >
  
  republicans …. absolute farce >
  
  Speak for your fucking self >
  
  simply make each star in the flag a different color >
  
  It just keeps getting worse >
  
  Your house is quite the mess and you're worried about the neighbors. >
  
  So the Stars and Stripes is the new gay flag?   Sound good? >
  
  I’d love to see them do it. A sure fire way to see rainbows EVERYWHERE is to try to ban it >
  
  The “freedom” party strikes again >
  
  This is clearly an attempt by the Republican Party to stigmatize and marginalize young gay boys so they are forced into the street and have to shut up about their Republican johns >
  
  Freedom of speech party, amazing. >
  
  This is hate speech disguised as lawmaking. It leverages the media to increase its reach. If that guy simply said what he thinks not many would care. If he wanted to promote it in the media he would need to pay. But as a law he gets all the attention for free and may be even fundraising off it.
  Not sure how to counter that strategy and it is used way too often to not have a strategy. Outrage alone is just feeding the beast. >

  you would be correct.. >
  
  Man I really seems like Republicans only want to do things that effect optics, moral and culture. Any time they think about fiscal laws they default to Lizz Trus’s “tax nothing and hope corporations donate profits, complain when not in control” strategy.
  Can we identify things we agree on and pass those laws or are we only going to introduce bills as a partisan middle finger? >

  Just as soon as you make the US flag stand for equality, inclusiveness, and freedom. Should only take a few decades. >
  
  So much bullshit- let’s start banning all altercations to the American Flag- and when we’re done with that- how bout addressing some real issues instead of spreading hate, violating freedoms and
