On June 8, the Associated Press reported from St. Augustine, Fla.:
For the next six days, 49 rainbow flags will flutter on the Bridge of Lions after a three-year battle by gay-rights organizations.
U.S. District Judge Henry Lee Adams Jr. ruled Tuesday against the city in a suit filed by the Rev. Ruth Jensen and Vicki Waldon of the St. Augustine Pride Committee, Equality Florida and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. The city rejected a request last month to fly the flags for a week of gay-pride events.
Adams said the organization would suffer "irreparable harm and loss if they are prohibited from flying their rainbow flags during the week of the annual gay pride celebration." The pride committee must pay permit fees of $295.
The Sodomy Lobby never sleeps.
And how many Americans saw the news reported by France's news service, Agence France-Presse, from Paris, on June 6, concerning Notre Dame Cathedral?
Twenty members of the homosexual militant group ACT UP entered the cathedral and proceeded to perform a mock marriage of lesbians – while chanting "Pope Benedict XVI – homophobe AIDS accomplice."
Monsignor Patrick Jacquin told the wire service: "They are savages. I was pushed to the ground and trampled, kicked in the neck."
The president of ACT UP Paris, Jerome Martin, who participated in this demonstration claimed that Monsignor Jacquin exaggerated: "We did not want to be aggressive with respect to the worshippers ... the aggressive security detail wanted to rip up our banner."
Should any outside banner have been displayed in this famed cathedral?
Why weren't all these disrupters engaged in a mockery of the religion of this cathedral, arrested and sentenced to long terms at hard labor?
And why was this outrage not widely reported by the Old Media of the United States?
The people of St. Augustine, Fla., who have been ordered to allow the display of the rainbow sodomy-acceptance flags, ought to consider what the sodomy-acceptance militants did to a monsignor and to Catholic worshippers in Notre Dame Cathedral.
Last post before vacation, ping.
"...would suffer "irreparable harm and loss if they are prohibited from flying their rainbow flags during the week of the annual gay pride celebration."
Ridiculous!

First I've heard about it.
Isn't it amazing; the only people who can protest, riot and revolt for a cause for a "SELECT" DEMOGRAPHIC of the population ONLY, are radicals and people of color?
I'll ping it out tomorrow - and have a wonderful vacation! You certainly deserve a little rest and relaxation.
I am scratching my head. What harm? Why is it irreparable? I bet he blushed when he proof read that ruling.
Burning of the U.S. flag in protest is dcnsidered, "First Amendment-Protected free speech".
Would burning these flags be "Free Speech" or a "Hate Crime"?

Is some speech more free than other?
