Five Republican lawmakers from Mississippi are calling on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to remove an LGBT Pride flag that has been temporarily placed on Biloxi Veterans Affairs property, arguing that its installment amounts to a “political stunt.”

In the June 5 letter, the lawmakers said they believe that the flag hanging in front of the Biloxi VA Medical Center and Biloxi National Cemetery is disrespectful to veterans.
