Should Pride Flags Be Displayed on Government Property?
Here’s the Scoop
Two commissioners of a Detroit-area city have been booted from their positions after they reportedly defied a new law by raising a Pride flag on city property.
Hamtramck, Michigan — the only city in the United States with an all-Muslim city council and mayor — recently passed a law banning certain flags on city property.
Exceptions to this rule include the American flag, the state of Michigan flag, the city flag, a flag honoring American POWs, and “the nations’ flags that represent the international character of” Hamtramck.
Last weekend, two members of the Hamtramck Human Rights Commission allegedly defied the law.
The members, Russ Gordon and former Mayor Pro Tem Catrina Stackpoole, raised a so-called “progress flag” — a flag that looks suspiciously similar to a Pride flag — over a public sidewalk.
Then, Gordon and Stackpoole proceeded to hold a rally for “LGBTQ rights.”
Two days after the incident, the city council and mayor voted unanimously to oust the pair from their positions.
Additionally, they voted to strip the Human Rights Commission of the authority to raise any flags on public property.
“Disrespecting law and order — that’s the reason why there is a valid cause for removing them from this commission,” said Mayor Amer Ghalib.
“The purpose and the mission of this commission is to bring people together.”

I think that only our AMERICAN FLAG should be flown over Governmental buildings. If you chose another flag, fly it over your home. GOD BLESS THE USA!

The only flags that should be flown on any government property should be the American flag and the state flag and maybe the p.o.w.flag for the veterans and that’s all.GOD BLESS America.😎💯

How far back has Soros and Obama been connected? Obama is gay and he has been pushing this gay lifestyle for years. Soros he been paying government people, especially FBI and DA’S. Open borders was the worst under Obama. Biden has been doing Obamas-Soros agenda for years. Probably back when Obama was a community organizer.

Evidently the PRIDE COMMUNITY SUGGESTS THAT WOMEN COULD BE MEN, AND MEN COULD BE WOMEN BY CHOICE AFTER THEY BECAME ADULTS. THIS IS A STUPID TYPE OF REASONING! WHY NOT CHANGE MICE INTO PIGS AND DOGS INTO HORSES?? YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE, ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON!!!

MEN ARE MEN AND WOMEN ARE WOMEN, AND NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT. IF GOD MADE YOU AS YOU ARE, DO YOU THINK THAT HE MADE A MISTAKE? IF YOU CAN NOT LIVE WITH YOUR SITUATION, THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION!!!!

Growing up, I was taught the 7 deadly sins. PRIDE was always listed as the very first one. Never quite understood why anyone would be proud of being a homosexual. Dysfunctional, disease carrying, suicidal, inability to procreate, and general unhappiness with life. The term gay doesn’t fit very well either.

Finally, courage to stand for our country. Thank you to these leaders. Why does sexual orientation need a flag to shove it down everyone’s throat? Also we don’t need parades or books in our schools with these perversions on display to corrupt young children.
