Congressman Josh Brecheen introduces 'Patriotism Not Pride Act' to prohibit LGBTQ Pride-related flags on federal property
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Josh Brecheen introduced the Patriotism Not Pride Act, which would prohibit federal agencies from using taxpayer resources to promote Pride Month or any similar event. The bill also prohibits the display of flags representing gender identity or sexual orientation by agencies on federal property.
“Americans want to see the Stars and Stripes flown at our federal buildings, which thousands of Americans have died fighting to protect, not flags promoting sexual preference,” said Congressman Josh Brecheen. “Our federal government should be promoting patriotism and love for our country, instead of advancing a far-Left social agenda.”
“The American flag is symbolic of the freedoms and values of the United States of America on the world stage. Conversely, the LGBTQ flag promotes a sexual agenda and clearly lacks the dignity to be placed under an American flag. It is obvious that government buildings flying the flag that is connected to a sexual identity is offensive to the majority of Americans,” said Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-WI), an original co-sponsor of the bill.
Original co-sponsors: Representatives Matt Rosendale, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Glenn Grothman, Andy Ogles, Barry Moore, Tim Burchett, Lauren Boebert, Anna Paulina Luna, Mary Miller, Eric Burlison, Alex Mooney, Gary Palmer, Bob Good, Michael Cloud, Nathaniel Moran, Ralph Norman, and Andy Biggs.
