US Embassies and "Pride Month"
« on: June 01, 2021, 12:53:42 PM »
I see that US Embassies, much like liberals in general, are doing the old flaunting of the rainbow flag in front of the Vatican, as they flaunt in in front of Christians and other "safe groups" in general. As a commenter mentioned, I'd like to see our embassies in the Middle East drape the flag in front of their buildings and see how that goes.

Also, I see they added a "+" to the whole lgbtfhdtqyz thing. I guess it does make it a little easier, though I expect that those lumped into "+" will soon start complaining about microaggressions.  :laugh:

Pope Frank probably thinks it great.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

No no, the + is the end of the whole thing. Because, in the spirit of openness and maximum tolerance and outreach, we can assume the + naturally includes traditional/heterosexual, straight and super-straight. Then, proudly flying the LGBT...+ flag, we campaign for equal rights, demand others recognize our sexual preferences and practices as legitimate and even praiseworthy, and then we agitate for funding, and the whole affair will have gone full-circle.
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
