US Embassies To Fly LGBTQ ‘Progress’ Flags, Blinken Says
The U.S. State Department and American embassies around the world will fly the “Progress Flag” in honor of Pride month, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Monday.
Blinken was interviewed during an event on LBGTQ issues hosted by the Atlantic Council think tank that focuses on international affairs and foreign policy. When asked if he will allow American embassies to fly Pride flags, Blinken responded, “We’ve made that clear and we’ve given our chiefs of missions and ambassadors authority to do that.”
