American conservatives have found the next thing to flame up about: flags. Specifically, the American political right wing is upset about Saturday’s LGBTQ+ Pride Month celebration on the South Lawn of the White House. They say that the prominent placement of the LGBTQ+ Progress Pride Flag as a banner centered along the exterior of the White House Truman Balcony, flanked by two U.S. flags, was a violation of the U.S. Flag Code and a “disgraceful” display by President Joe Biden.

At the White House, over a thousand people enjoyed a bright, warm, and overwhelmingly positive afternoon of ice cream, pizza, and refreshments. Outside the gates, a few religious zealots screamed about Jesus saving homosexuals from their sins. However, aside for tourists who passed along the north side of the building, their noise was inaudible to attendees.

[...] But conservatives have been seething online since because of the Biden-Harris administration’s embrace of queer joy. Some Twitter users condemned the placement of the Pride flag. “This is a disgrace. Not only is it in breach of the U.S. Flag Code, but it’s a glaring example of this White Houses’ incompetence and insistence on putting their social agenda ahead of patriotism,” wrote U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, a medical doctor representing Kansas. The Republican senator’s examination didn’t include the White House flag atop the building, nor did he cite any particular area of the flag code. Individuals viewing Marshall’s post on Twitter delivered a barrage of responses, including LGBTQ+ program director at Media Matters Ari Drennen, who attended the event at the White House.

Right-wing crybabies are having a Caillou-like temper tantrum over the Progress Pride Flag that flew in the center between the two American Flags on the balcony at this past Saturday's LGBTQ+ Pride celebration on the White House lawn by falsely calling it a violation of the flag code.
