A ban on pride flags? Really? You're scared of some fabric or colors?
Grow up and mind your damn business. We're just trying to live our own lives. Fuck
Where do you see a ban on pride flags? I read the letter published by the House Freedom Caucus and didn't see mention of flags.
I see no mention of banning pride flags on this ludicrous list of demands, either.
There are some states that want to ban displaying all “unofficial” flags on publicly funded buildings such as schools and embassies; this would theoretically prohibit pride flags, BLM flags, flags supporting or opposing other nations, religious flags, NRA flags, nazi flags, stars and bars, or any flags that symbolize an ideology apart from the flags of federal, state, and local governments.
It doesn’t apply to non-government buildings, so churches, businesses, private residences that aren’t controlled by HOAs, etc, would still be able to display the flags of their choice.
