Who knows searches are wild sometimes. It is no mistake what that is.

The only flags that should be flying on government buildings are the official flags of the US, the applicable state, and the applicable municipality.

[keep it simple]

White light is the composed of all the colors of the rainbow, as anyone that has ever seen a prism knows. The rainbow flag is therefore a symbol of white supremacy. Not that many "rainbow warriors" will understand physics.

Who is forcing you to have an abortion, or marry someone of the same sex?

I think that would be a solution where no one is offended, and no controversy can be found.
Agreed.

Why do state or federal building need to fly any flag other than the state flag or the US flag?

LOL

you would think that gay people were being driven back into the closet today.

you would think recent victories that have happened for the GLBT community were in fact defeats.

you guys don't seem to understand what winning means. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

So you see nothing wrong with the rainbow flag and the Whitehouse being pictured in rainbow colors but it is wrong to fly the confererate flag? Who is going overboard with the PC issue? The Rainbow flag has nothing to do with PC, and I am not a homophobic by anymeans.

Only flags on State government buildings should be US and State. Anything else will offend someone (or a whole lot of someones) and should be avoided. Is that really hard to understand?
