Ridgewood NJ, Mayor Knudsen read a statement addressing displaying the “Pride Flag” in the Village of Ridgewood .The Mayor answered some over the top criticism , name calling and threats toward the Village council over that flag .
The Village Council approved flying a rainbow flag, a symbol of gay pride, at Van Neste Square for the month of June in recognition of Gay Pride Month.
As previously reported by this blog much of the name calling was in clear violation of the spirit of inclusion of ‘Gay Pride ” and motivated by small minded political agenda’s. Poor behavior of many residents on this issue show how far we have to go in excepting and respecting our differences and differences of opinion.
While no surprise the corporate media fed by failed special agenda politics continues to misrepresent the Village’s position on the “rainbow flag” and the Villages intent .
