The display, which features a rainbow-colored Pride flag flanked by two American flags, has been criticized for not adhering to a section of the U.S. Flag Code that requires the American flag to be in the center of any display featuring multiple national flags or pennants.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton took to Twitter to voice his concerns, stating, "To advance revolutionary transgender agenda targeting children, Biden violates basic tenet of U.S. Flag Code and disrespects every American service member buried under its colors." Fitton cited 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 has not yet responded to the criticism. The display was featured prominently during Biden's Pride Month celebration at the White House on Saturday, which included performers and speakers representing LGBT causes. The event celebrated the Pride community as "the bravest and most inspiring people" and an example for the U.S. and the world.

During the event, first lady Jill Biden said, "Outside the gates of this house are those who want to drag our country backwards, and so many battles yet to be braved. But today, we're not here to be strong. We're not here to be courageous. Even though for so many of you, just coming to this event is an act of bravery." Biden also praised the LGBT community as "some of the bravest and most inspiring" people he has ever known.
