Whose Pride ? LGBTQ Flags have protections the American Flag does not have |
The convicted arsonist said, “I burned down their pride, plain and simple. It was my honor to burn it and stand for the Lord.”
“Yes, there are parts of the Bible that say pretty direct things about gay sex,” she said.
“But we believe God is still speaking to us through the Bible and through each other, through prayer, through worship and because of that we’ve been able to get to a place where we can affirm all of God’s children, including queer people,” Gebbie said.
The proliferation of of so-called “Hate crime laws” in America, which when applied, can unevenly determine which groups receive special status or protection, has resulted in affording certain groups the freedom from consequences while still others find themselves at the business end of the billy club.
For their part, classical liberals and constitutional conservatives question the political left’s point of view that burning the American Flag qualifies as free speech while at the same time espousing the seemingly contradictory position that some flags deserve special hate crime protections Source
