For the sake of your sanity, I STRONGLY recommend that you don’t look for consistent logic in anything proposed/announced by any conservative administration, most especially this one.

Several people testified at the hearing, including a father who said that his son saw a Pride flag in a school computer lab and he was offended because the Pride flag “sends a clear message about marriage.”

And these are the people who have the absolute gall to call us snowflakes

Pride flags are historical flags.
