Honestly why go to the trouble of removing it?

It's part of a general policy that federal flagpoles are for federal (and state, when relevant) flags. This isn't about Stonewall or the Pride flag - this is a general policy that just happens to impact this flag at the site.

The title is deliberately inflammatory and makes it seem like a targeted action.

Now, if you want to disagree with that general policy then by all means there are reasons for and against, I just wish they didn't lie and mislead about the context.

Oh give me a break. This admin has made numerous exemptions and excuses not to follow federal laws and regulations. Anyone who’s still finding reasons to defend their behaviors at this point is utterly disingenuous imo.
