QUINCY For the fourth time in nine months, the gay pride flag flying outside the Church of the Presidents has been vandalized.
The flag was stolen last August, and again last September. Two months later it was burned, and this week it was stolen yet again.
The pastor, the Rev. Sheldon Bennett, said the rainbow flag was taken sometime Monday night, after the church office closed.
The flag flies outside the Parish Hall entrance to the church on Washington Street in Quincy Center. Its a symbol of the congregations support for equal rights for gays, lesbian, bisexuals and transgendered persons.

Is it acceptable to use the term founding fathers?

The Rainbow is God’s creation and homosexuals have no business usurping it as their banner.

No, the term “founding fathers” is politically incorrect.
It has been mostly replaced by the term “framers” of the constitution. I have to laugh about it because even if you accept the feminist view that “founding fathers” is sexist, they were all in fact men.

“Pride”? What about anal sex makes one “proud”? Is it really such an achievement?

That flag has certainly been through a lot! I can't believe someone bothered to steal it after it was burned. But, then again, it seems kind of odd that they waited two months after it was stolen (twice) to burn the flag.
Then again, the way the article is written, I'm confused. I guess the real question would be: Is the burning a rainbow flag an act of protected free speech (as is the burning of an American flag) or is it considered a hate crime?

A TV report mentioned “hate crime” but while that could merely be the opinion of the interviewed, I had the exact immediate sentiment as you wrote.

Can you imagine what John and John Quincy Adams would have thought of their church flying a fag flag. They must be turning over in their crypts.

It has been mostly replaced by the term framers of the constitution. I have to laugh about it because even if you accept the feminist view that founding fathers is sexist, they were all in fact men. Abigail Adams was ahead of her time. She advised her husband, and he was smart enough to listen to her...and she was a daughter of a preacher to boot. Her mother was also ahead of her time in that she educated her daughters to read and write.
You don't see the feminists adopting Abigail though.
