There are many like me who do not really care about what people do in their bedrooms. Someone getting gay-married does nothing to my marriage so I couldn’t care less. We work with gay coworkers, have gay friends and really do not give any more thought to someone being gay than we do to someone being straight.
However, I only want the American flag flying on the Village Hall – not a rainbow flag, not a vegan flag, not a muslim flag, not a Black Lives Matter flag, and a Lenape flag and not the Confederate flag.
But it appears that if I as much as mention the same, I am going to be harassed and bullied for being a ‘bigot.’ How I lead my life, how I interact with people, how I do not discriminate at all between someone gay and someone straight in my real life does not matter. I am either screaming out my support for flying the rainbow flag or I am a bigot. I am suddenly no different from the people tossing gays off buildings.
This is nothing by extremism. And it is detrimental to the movement itself. Harassing and publicly bullying people may shut them down but the feelings of resentment will not disappear. This appears to be more of an attempt to ‘plant a flag’ and rub it in everyone’s face, rather than support for tolerance or anything.
Run to the Hills people. With this new “peaceful” rainbow looking crowd it is their way or the highway.
hear! hear! I quite agree. Let’s hold true to our Democracy. Fly the US flag over Village Hall and let us ensure the equal protection of the laws for all those over whom it flies.
Don’t underestimate that they have targeted prime real estate whose occupants have been caught with the lights in their eyes. This multi-acronym based special interest group has no interest in anything but a free ad & pushing their irrelevant to almost everyone agenda. The screaming banshee known as The Record (aka Washingto Post Jr.)is complicit in this.
Just do not go on the SJW/Jacobin run. FB page, It takes a Ridgewood Village. I think they forgot the word Idiot at the end of the title. Was even assaulted by a GW teacher who taught my daughter. With complete culturally control, they feel no need to show any manners.
You mean “this is nothing BUT extremism”–right? That sentence in text and title is very confusing (“nothing BY extremism”).. PJ, please fix both.
