Who does it hurt?

All the precious homophobes for starters

Yep.

I don't particularly like the Australian flag, but I wouldn't complain about it being on any particular building or in someone's front yard etc.

It's just a frickin flag FFS.

Live and let live you precious little snowflakes.

A very stupid analogy by a silly stinker.
.

Flags of the state on state building like a parliament are symbols of the state and its institutions under which everyone is united, regardless of age, politics, race, sex whatever.

A sectarian flag like the gay flag, symbolizing a tiny segment of the population, flying side by side with the flag of unity is totally misplaced on buildings of unity and common purpose.

I don’t know why you went to the trouble to explain all that to Groggy.

The invalid argument reply I left in this topic obviously frightened him out of here 😂🤣😆

Oh... I've just read this over my brekky cornflakes...

Victoria's LGAs fly rainbow flag on IDAHOBIT in support of LGBT community.

Quote:

For the first time, a sea of rainbow flags have been raised across
Victoria on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and
Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). The Victorian Parliament and all the
state's local government areas have raised the rainbow flag in honour
of the queer community today.

Hmmm... is this wise? Inflammatory? Divisive? Or are people,
like me, ultimately indifferent?

At first I thought Idahobit may've been Bilbo Baggins' long lost sister.

Wink

Inflammatory? I had to reread that. then i remembered where i was and was less surprised.

I would consider prejudice more inflammatory than acceptance and solidarity, but that's just me.

Oh, and just about every one else under 60.

Fly those flags!

While kids are still killing themselves because they fear persecution for being who they are, i say the more we can do to show we accept them the better. Bring it on.

It has no place on a Govt building.

It's just more fawning & identity politics.

...

And?

(Oh I know the answer to this one Gnads!!!)

And ... it’s absolute BS.

That enough for you?

Who does it hurt?

What purpose does it serve?

White flag (pardon the pun) accepted.

If it's not hurting anyone, live and let live.

You know where the white flag should be shoved yeah?

You've now made it brown.

If it were merely about live & let live ... the falg wouldn't have been flown on a govt/public building.

They'd be going about their lives just like everyone else ....

without the grandstanding fuss.

Oh STFU Smith

the flag doesn't just represent homosexuals

So according to you all people identifying as transgender are gay? .... yes?

It's about all sorts of ABC rainbow queers etc.

FFS why do they even have or need a flag?

You're definitely missing some grey matter.

Oh... I've just read this over my brekky cornflakes...

Victoria's LGAs fly rainbow flag on IDAHOBIT in support of LGBT community.

Quote:

For the first time, a sea of rainbow flags have been raised across
Victoria on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and
Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). The Victorian Parliament and all the
state's local government areas have raised the rainbow flag in honour
of the queer community today.

Hmmm... is this wise? Inflammatory? Divisive? Or are people,
like me, ultimately indifferent?

At first I thought Idahobit may've been Bilbo Baggins' long lost sister.

Wink

Inflammatory? I had to reread that. then i remembered where i was and was less surprised.

I would consider prejudice more inflammatory than acceptance and solidarity, but that's just me.

Oh, and just about every one else under 60.

Fly those flags!

While kids are still killing themselves because they fear persecution for being who they are, i say the more we can do to show we accept them the better. Bring it on.

It has no place on a Govt building.

It's just more fawning & identity politics.

...

And?

(Oh I know the answer to this one Gnads!!!)

And ... it’s absolute BS.

That enough for you?

Who does it hurt?

What purpose does it serve?

White flag (pardon the pun) accepted.

If it's not hurting anyone, live and let live.

You know where the white flag should be shoved yeah?

You've now made it brown.

If it were merely about live & let live ... the falg wouldn't have been flown on a govt/public building.

They'd be going about their lives just like everyone else ....

without the grandstanding fuss.

Live and let live, buddy.

You're being a total Karen over nothing.

Nobody is harmed by a Pride flag flown on a government building.

Don't like it? Don't look at it.

A very stupid analogy by a sinister stinker. As moronic as "Swastika flag flying on public buildings? - don't like it, dont look at it. Just a flag."

Godwin's law.
