I also think the Progress Pride Flag represents conduct and actions I view as sin. Not like, gender/sexual sin. Design sin.

The rainbow flag was already perfect. The rainbow flag to me says "human behavior exists on a spectrum, and everyone matters". It's beautiful, elegant. The stripes don't represent distinct groups, though sinners (the flag redesigners, not LGBTQ+ people) have tried. The flag itself represents harmony in diversity. You can't get better than that, no notes.

The Progress flag is meddling with a perfect formula. It takes a perfect symbol to celebrate diversity itself and plasters it with footnotes. By highlighting specific groups that were included by the rainbow in the first place, it just opens the door to more and more complex revisions to include more and more distinct groups. It turns a poignant symbol of broad inclusiveness into a weird patchwork of granular inclusiveness. That would seem like hyperbole if the pictured flag wasn't already the intersex-inclusive revision.

It's just sloppy vexillology. The rainbow flag is awesome. Why are we fucking with it?

It's very simple. We'll get rid of the pride flags as soon as they get rid of all the crosses. Fair is fair, after all.

So they can take down the flag but that means no Easter decorations or Christmas decorations and definitely canceling the Christmas holiday because I don't want to be forced to celebrate your beliefs you weak twat.

Someone should punch him in the throat

Somebody should sue him for suing for seeing a flag. If that's the way we gon play it.

You know, if youre gonna be this pathetic we should be able to exile you to an island.

If this works, is it not precedent to make the same complaint every time I see a cross?

lmao cry about it idiot

pride is unstoppable 💜💛🤍🩷🩵🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I assume this is an effort to create another suit that will get all the way to SCOTUS so that white Christian nationalists get yet another carve-out of everyone else's civil liberties.

Snowflake much?

Why do so many right-wing Christians sound like the villain from a Criminal Minds episode?

Like...this MFer thinks he has a right to make other people not exist for his comfort. Fucking psycho when you dig into it.

His faith must be weak for it to be shaken so easily.

If I exercise my free speech in the woods with no one around to hear it, is it free speech?

Meanwhile my church:

(ALT: The words "The Episcopal Church" in white above a variation of a shield graphic that has a blue field in the upper left with a series of white crosses forming an X shape; pink, blue, brown, black diagonal stripes on the right; the classic Pride rainbow colors of purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red forming the remaining sections with a white cross holding them all together)

EDIT: I tried to use a spoiler tag/format but I apparently suck at that. Sorry. Don't sue me!

He's not wrong, which is why we should not acknowledge or grant any privileges to any religion. Practice what you want but you should get no special privilege or consideration.

Holy homophobia Batman! It's 1984 and the Big Gay shoves gay frogs down a christian throat! Should've sued his maker for making him a whiney tool with pretty offending vibes of one another cross-cluthing mass shooter.

Love thy neighbor

It must be hard to be this fragile little bitch of a bigot.

Forcing me to see a crosses and churches on my drive to work violate my religious beliefs all.

Pride also is notably not a religious belief. Its a belief in fundamental human rights and equality under the law.

If my religion was that "all government is evil" then there's no amount of government that would not offend my sensibilities. Notably a lot if "sovereign citizens" believe exactly this and happen to be religious christians.

This should be treated with even more ridicule than sovereign citizen beliefs because this is being offended by a belief specifically opposed to the equality of the law.

I used to have to drive past this fucking thing on my way to work. We banning those too?

And not a single person has complained about being “forced” to see all the churches he also goes past.

Christians are so god damned annoying. Why can’t they all just fuck off? Keep their superstition in their conditioning centers, and out of public life. Their fervor is pathetic, but the results they achieve with such animosity damages society in ways that cannot easily be rolled back, if at all.

Fuck ‘em all.

having to see a Progress Pride flag … forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin”

If it only was that easy to get people to celebrate, recognize, and solemnize gay sex, world would be a better place no doubt.
