Police replace Union Flag with gay banner
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 18th May 2009 | James Tozer and Arthur Martin

Dozens of police stations lowered the Union Flag and replaced it with a gay rights banner to mark a day of action against homophobia.

One police chief said the rainbow flag demonstrated his force's support for homosexuals who felt they were victims of prejudice.

But critics warned that it was dangerous for forces to show support for particular campaigns.

Earlier this year, Britain's most senior policeman ordered his force not to fly any flags in support of individual groups.

Sir Paul Stephenson, commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, instructed officers to remove a rainbow flag which had replaced a Union Flag at Limehouse police station, in East London, to mark Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender history month.

But elsewhere, four forces flew the gay rights flag at the weekend to mark International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia - the prejudice against transsexuals.

That’s OK. They ran up the white flag awhile ago to the muzzies in country. Of course the poofers won’t be getting their rainbow flags flown after the muslimization is completed.

Boston Mayor insults citizens by raising ‘gay flag” over City Hall – in honor of “Gay Pride Week.” However, mayor declines to show up personally, knowing video cameras will be there!


[More photos below]

BOSTON (JUNE 1, 2007) Boston Mayor Thomas Menino celebrated the beginning of "Gay Pride Week" by sponsoring an elaborate ceremony, complete with public officials, and having the homosexual "rainbow flag" fly over City Hall for the entire week.

The ceremony was fairly typical for a homosexual event. (1) One of the speeches was about sexually transmitted disease and the importance of being tested. (2) Another speech was about the homosexual movement getting into the public schools. (3) A well-known child molester was named as the official “honorary parade marshall” – the late Gerry Studds.

The Founding Fathers who fought the British for freedom in Boston would probably shoot themselves if they saw this. (excerpt)

When the Islamic flag goes up over the Union Jack, that’ll be the end of the gay-blade flag.

These homosexuals are useless idiots acting as Judas goats leading western culture to the slaughterhouse. Their ceaseless desire for acceptance will never be full-filled in this life nor in hell. Only through repentance and faithfulness to the one true living God will they find peace.

I’m so tired of the ego gratification of the sexually incompetent. I’m sure some places do fly such flags in the US. I know government offices in D.C. put up posters in support of GLBT month or whatever the hell they call it. They can keep in our faces but someday it will be a bit too far and it won’t be a flag hanging on a poll.

Anyone familiar with Mayor "Mumbles" Menino would know that it's not the cameras he's afraid of but the microphones.

How sad for this planet that we now force the police(those sworn to protect society) to honor perversion.
Societies are collapsing in on themselves. This planet is doomed ifpeop-ledonotcome to their senses and rise up against these attacks on decency and common sense.

I wonder just what it is that a fella,at least,raises when saluting the homosexual banner? And would doing so in public be legal?

Plenty of rainbow flags here in Long Beach, CA this weekend. The perverts were having their "Pride" festival.

Parking was as bad as during the Grand Prix.

Very disturbing.

Then the caliph of the Ummah that used to be Great Britain will announce, like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that there are no homosexuals in his country - and it'll be true.
