“Shame on our State Department for allowing the American Embassy at the Vatican to fly the LGBTQ pride flag. What an insult to the Catholic Church! This flag is promoting an agenda, not a country, and to give it equal billing with the American flag is wrong.
“It seems that the Biden Administration has no limits on how far they will go to offend the Catholic Church.
“President Donald J. Trump had a one-flag rule—only one flag could be flown on the American flagpole at our embassies—and that was the American flag. Isn’t that how it should be?” – Franklin Graham, posting to Facebook.
As you can see in the photo below, the flag was hung on the front of the embassy and wasn’t given “equal billing with the American flag.”
