The prohibition was one of many side issues included in the mammoth $1.2 trillion package to fund the government through September.

That's because the headline is slightly misleading. Technically the bill says US government funds can't be used to buy pride flag to fly above state department facilities. Theoretically there wouldn't be anything to stop someone from buying it with out of pocket money and flying it, or use flags they've already purchased. Still ridiculous though, I know.
