U.S. embassies around the world will not fly Pride flags in June following a State Department directive. The policy was implemented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio after he took office.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued an order prohibiting State Department personnel from participating in public diplomacy activities celebrating theme day holidays that are not official U.S. holidays or subject to a presidential proclamation. A separate One Flag Policy limits displays at U.S. facilities to the United States flag, a Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flag, or the Hostages and Wrongful Detainees flag.
