The policy, which the VA said was to establish direction across the department and among all employees, specifically prohibits the flying of the gay pride rainbow flag.

The U.S. State Department reportedly adopted a new policy under the Trump administration that blocks U.S. embassies and outposts from flying Pride and Black Lives Matter flags.

LGBTQ pride flags are banned at Veteran's Administration facilities, according to a Wednesday memo posted by VA Secretary Douglas Collins.

Only the American flag and other state and military-related banners will be allowed to be displayed under the new department policy.
