How Was That Trump Birthday Parade

[VitaMan]

How old is Trump now ?

[DEAR_JOHN]

I think it was nice to have a parade without gay flags and transgenders leading the way.

That is correct, unless it is off topic.

From that search link, this is the snippet from Wikipedia...

The Army stated that plans for the Army's 250 birthday celebration had been in the works for two years, but the parade was Trump's idea and planning for it only began recently.

And I think it was nice that you didn't miss this opportunity to disparage them.

HOW would you know if there were Trans troops there, btw? Thousands of Gay and Trans people have served honorably in the Armed Services. Standing up for your rights and your country.

And I'm pretty sure that the Army has never allowed any "gay flags" to be displayed anywhere at any time.

Under the Biden administration, some embassies flew flags that showed support for social justice initiatives. The U.S. Embassy in the Bahamas flew an LGBT Pride flag in June 2021, noting the decision to do so would “reaffirm the human rights and fundamental freedoms of LGBTQI+ persons.”

This guidance supersedes VA’s previous memorandum on displaying flags during Pride Month, issued in May 2024. However, it does not affect existing policies governing national cemeteries.

U.S. Military Is Now Banned From Displaying the Pride Flag at Work

U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper signed an order that will prohibit military bases from flying flags other than the U.S. flag, state flags, and military-related flags.

Under the new guideline, LGBTQ+ groups affiliated with the military will not be allowed to display the rainbow flag at any time, even during Pride Month. Furthermore, LGBTQ+ service members are no longer permitted to display the flag in their workspaces.
