BREAKING: “It’s absolutely outrageous that Defense Secretary Mark Esper would ban the Pride flag — the very symbol of inclusion and diversity,” Modern Military Association of America's Jennifer Dane said in response. "This decision sends an alarming message to LGBTQ service members, their families and future recruits.”

Is it really shocking or inappropriate that only the 🇺🇸, state flags and flags of allies should be flying at military installations?

I’m sure right now Stephen Miller is sitting in his office spinning around in his chair giggling in utter delight.

I read the msg and this was my first concern. They did not define divisive symbol/flag, leaving it open to interpretation and arbitrary enforcement. 😫

Guess that means no sports teams flags either?

It doesn't. It particularly mentions flags should garner esprit de corps. The definition of esprit de corps is pride, therefore pride flags are acceptable.

They have to get rid of all of them if they get rid of one. If not, they open themselves up to lawsuits. I get it but if it means no more Confederate flag, I'm fine with it.

Honestly, the ban on the pride flag doesn’t bother me. The military should only fly military flags.

NO IT DOES NOT SEND THAT MESSAGE. THE MESSAGE IS ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL ARE AMERICANS , THAT MUST BE THEIR LOYALTY , not the CSA, not the Pride, not the GOP, not the donkey flag. All Americans all the time

This is why I will never live on a military installation again.
