White House accused of US Flag Code violation over Pride Month display
President Biden spoke in front of Pride Month display Saturday
President Joe Biden's administration is receiving backlash online over its Pride Month display at the White House on Sunday as many Twitter users are saying it violates the U.S. Flag Code.
Biden celebrated the LGBT community in a post Saturday, revealing a set of flags hanging from the White House that faced the South Lawn. The display includes a rainbow-colored Pride flag flanked by two American flags.
Twitter users argue the display violates a section of the U.S. Flag Code that mandates the American flag be in the center of any display featuring multiple national flags or pennants.

The Pride flag display at the White House is a violation of the U.S. Flag Code, social media users say.
Fitton went on to cite U.S. Flag Code §7. (e), which reads, "The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs."
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
The display was featured prominently during Biden's Pride Month celebration at the White House on Saturday.
