Very soon, San Diego's LGBT community will see a colorful symbol of their pride flying high above the Hillcrest neighborhood.

Today, the City Council voted 7-0 to approve a proposal by the Hillcrest Business Association (HBA) to install a 65-foot flagpole in the median on Normal Street where it intersects with University Avenue.

Nicholas Moade, owner of Rich's and a donor to the flag project, urged the City Council to pass Item 333. "This flag symbolized tolerance and diversity," Moade said. "As long as LGBT youth are being bullied ... it is important to fly this flag as a beacon of hope."

After the council voted, applause erupted in the room. Many community members left excited about the installation of the project, which is expected to be in place in time for the annual San Diego LGBT Pride celebration, taking place July 20-22.

“This flag symbolized tolerance and diversity,”

Liberal/gay intolerance is the new “tolerance”

That queer flag will be on city owned property. Can we put a cross on city owned property?

“The rainbow is a creation of God. The rainbow flag symbolizes God’s promise not to destroy the Earth by flood!”

But, when those babies enter kindergarten, the teacher in accordance to California law will have to explain to them the meaning of the Rainbow Gay Pride Flag and the kids will learn to distrust their mothers.

Many community members left excited about the installation of the project, the idea of a 65 foot pole in the middle of the street being very popular among the locals...

seems this “rainbow” flag has morphed into a flag of hate and intollerance

AND

a religious symbol.

2012 seems to be morphing into the year of the queer. [that's mine]

Al Stewart cannot be pleased with these shenanigans.

“....Normal Street...” WTF?

We have a "Normal Avenue" near here. It runs by what is now called Montclair State University. I think it used to be called Montclair State Teachers' College but its first name was The New Jersey State Normal School at Montclair.

Normal School used to be the common way to refer to teachers' colleges, and so my guess is that this particular "Normal Street" also ran by a teachers' college.

I think it was only in the 1970s that the gays starting taking the area over.

The Normal Street designation is for the normal school, which eventually morphed into San Diego State University. Before the institution relocated to the mesa overlooking U.S. Hwy. 80, it must have been somewhere along the route of Normal Street.

I detest that perverts have taken over a beautiful thing like a rainbow to represent there perversity and a lovely word - gay - to describe themselves.

I want to thank the “I’m Queer and in your face” and their bend over backers!

Now if/when we visit San Diego, we will know what shopping area to avoid with that 65’ flag pole on AbbiNormal Street.

Normal, Illinois, got its name from a normal school, now Illinois State University.

Karen Hughes wrote a book which alluded to Normal, IL, in its title: Ten Minutes from Normal. It was inspired by something someone said on a trip, either campaign or presidential, that they were 10 minutes from Normal.

Right now (as of today) we are under His grace but it could end at any moment and then comes His prophetic wrath. So it is a given. Seems like the demons are very busy seeking as many souls they can devour. And America seems to be their last hooray as too many are taken in by fear.

Don’t let them have the rainbow then. They can’t co-opt rainbows.
