I'm sure they would allow a "Straight White Conservative Pride" flag to be hoisted. Yeah, right.
Just about the same importance!!!

On June 14, 1889, George Balch, a kindergarten teacher in New York City, planned appropriate ceremonies for the children of his school, and his idea of observing Flag Day was later adopted by the State Board of Education of New York. On June 14, 1891, the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia held a Flag Day celebration, and on June 14 of the following year, the New York Society of the Sons of the Revolution, celebrated Flag Day.
Following the suggestion of Colonel J Granville Leach (at the time historian of the Pennsylvania Society of the Sons of the Revolution), the Pennsylvania Society of Colonial Dames of America on April 25, 1893 adopted a resolution requesting the mayor of Philadelphia and all others in authority and all private citizens to display the Flag on June 14th. Leach went on to recommend that thereafter the day be known as 'Flag Day', and on that day, school children be assembled for appropriate exercises, with each child being given a small Flag.
Two weeks later on May 8th, the Board of Managers of the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution unanimously endorsed the action of the Pennsylvania Society of Colonial Dames. As a result of the resolution, Dr. Edward Brooks, then Superintendent of Public Schools of Philadelphia, directed that Flag Day exercises be held on June 14, 1893 in Independence Square. School children were assembled, each carrying a small Flag, and patriotic songs were sung and addresses delivered.
In 1894, the governor of New York directed that on June 14 the Flag be displayed on all public buildings. With BJ Cigrand and Leroy Van Horn as the moving spirits, the Illinois organization, known as the American Flag Day Association, was organized for the purpose of promoting the holding of Flag Day exercises. On June 14th, 1894, under the auspices of this association, the first general public school children's celebration of Flag Day in Chicago was held in Douglas, Garfield, Humboldt, Lincoln, and Washington Parks, with more than 300,000 children participating.
Adults, too, participated in patriotic programs. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary if the Interior, delivered a 1914 Flag Day address in which he repeated words he said the flag had spoken to him that morning: "I am what you make me; nothing more. I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of yourself."
Inspired by these three decades of state and local celebrations, Flag Day - the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 - was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson's proclamation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.
So now, instead of honoring our beautiful American flag, we're expected to salute the symbol of "gay pride"? This is an obscenity.
Looks like it's time for a bunch of pro-2nd amendment-types, pro-lifers, or Christians to ask for THEIR ceremony. I'm sure the ACLU will jump right on it if they refuse. < /sarcasm >
When the people say but the animal isnt able to give its consent, the BALS (barnyard animal lover society) will reply with "I saved this animal from the slaughterhouse, It would be on your dinner plate if it were not for me.
I wonder what their flag will look like. It has to have a big red barn with a shining sun setting and maybe some sheep froliciking in a meadow.
They might start selling stickers for their cars so other animal lovers will be able to recognize their peers.I know this is sick but IMHO is no more sick then the sodomite culture in america.
America is slowly being destroyed.The only thing that might save it is the home schooling and private religious schooling movement. So I predict that gov.org will have to put a stop to it.
Hey, it's only sex, right?
Seriously speaking, I can't see who in their right mind would fly a symbol of sexuality on top of a public building. Where's the ACLU in this? You know, those people who go to court to prevent such questionable displays as Nativity scenes at Christmas time, who insist that such displays have no place on public property. Do they now think that the flag of Sodomy is more appropriate to be on display for all to see and behold?
I wonder if that includes such diverse groups as NAMBLA, the KKK, American Nazi Party, Aryian Nation? I'd bet those groups would get preference over any "right wing" groups advocating the US Constitution...
