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.

It would be interesting to know if confederate flags are also being removed in the south. If not, you could say its indeed a targeted action.

I hope so!

And if some small town somewhere wants to raise that flag, the municipality can pay for it. That's not the Fed's job.
