Why doesn't Captain Holt have his rainbow flag in the New Girl crossover
Captain Holt is openly gay in Brooklyn 99 and has a rainbow flag on his desk:
In 4th episode in season 6 of New Girl "homecoming", we see the main part of the crossover episode with Brooklyn nine-nine.

I couldn't find a picture of the desk from the crossover episode, but it is quite possible that the rainbow was still there, although in a more subtle way than the flag in the cup.
