Shitheads in Louisiana want to ban the pride flag

In celebration of National Pride Month and the demise of the Defense of Marriage Act last month, members of the LGBT community in Lafayette, Louisiana gathered in Girard Park for the annual Pride in the Park celebration. Local paper The Daily Advertiser was there to cover the event, and ran a photo in the next day’s paper of participants hoisting the rainbow flag that has come to represent the LGBT community.
Ray Green, a veteran of the Korean War, saw the photograph and brought it to the attention of Andy Noquin, a City-Parish councilman, who is now drafting legislation that would outlaw the flying of the rainbow flag — and any other non-government flag — in any public venue.
Green, who served in the Korean War, told the Daily Advertiser that he found the flag offensive:
“I did not go overseas and fight for our country so that we could come back and be subject to something like that,†Green said Friday. “Several of us (veterans) feel that the flying of this flag is a poke in the eye of a way of life.â€

1. "I fought for freedom so I could force you to do what I want."
It's astonishing that they can't ****ing realize the bullshit they're saying and how hypocritical it is.

5. Hey Ray Green
I hear Somalia is a nice country for folks who like lax laws!
We here in the US are extremely grateful for your sacrifice in protecting our freedom even if you don't agree!

I remember my father saying many times, "Louisiana, the wart on the behind of Progress."
Still is.
Same group that throws a fit every time it sees a Confederate flag and wants to see it banned. What goes around comes around, libs.

And what kind of flag do the rest of us get? A cigarette and a sammich for the heteros? A picture of a smiling sheep for the bestiality crowd? A chastity belt for the celibate? A bottle of Jergens and a box of Kleenex for the stevenumbers of the world?
We all need to represent.
