This is a dig at Antony Blinken’s okaying these types of flags to be flown at our embassies around the world, if they so chose. From the linked article: “The cable contained a hedge, though, saying the authorization is not a requirement and chiefs of mission who run each embassy or consulate can choose whether to fly the Pride flag or showcase other symbols connoting support for LGBTQ rights based on what is “appropriate in light of local conditions.” The Trump Administration had previously forbidden this.

In March 2024, Biden encouraged a bipartisan passing of the spending bill, despite the fact that it supported reversing this authorization. Embassies in Brazil and Curacao were two which chose to fly the Black Lives Matter flag at their embassies in honor of Black History Month. [Source] [Source].

In any case, it’s telling that the writer explicitly states their belief that thinking that “black lives matter” or supporting LGBTQ people’s right to exist peacefully is “divisive.” It’s only divisive if you’re a racist or a homophobe/transphobe.
