What a generation. Pray war doesn't start or we are all in trouble.


Members of a regional women’s country line dance team were reportedly kicked out of a Seattle dance convention after organizers claimed their American flag-themed shirts made some attendees feel "triggered and unsafe."

Over the weekend at the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle, the Borderline Dance team was set to perform, but were essentially told they weren't welcome by organizer Rain Country Dance Association, an LGBTQ+ dance community, over their matching American flag themed shirts, Jason Rantz reported for 770 KTTH.

"Unfortunately, what our team was met with upon arrival was that our flag tops were offensive to some of the convention goers," the dance group posted to Facebook. "There was a small group that felt ‘triggered and unsafe.'"

The small group that felt triggered should have been escorted out and told to seek a life in the country the support and wish to live in.
 
You find this acceptable?
I find it not concerning. This was a private event, the organizer/sponsors get to determine what costumes are and are not acceptable. The organizer/sponsors tried to work on a compromise to allow the team to still preform. The team decided not to perform, it was their choice. Many of the same people who are complaining the team couldn’t wear their costumes are going to be beside themselves and threaten boycotts in about a month and a half because they themselves are upset at seeing a flag. I find that hypocrisy entertaining

“Emerald City Hoedown”. A hoedown…isn’t that a typical hillbilly event?

And, these performers were kicked out of that? I thought everyone was draped in the flag at these events. Sorry, but there is more to this story.

Either that or the dancers really suck.

Depends on the hoe.

They were offered options to perform and chose not to take them
EXCERPT:
"At first we were told we would just be boo’d, yelled at and likely many of them would walk out," the group's Facebook post explained. "This did not deter us. But then we were given an ultimatum. Remove the flag tops and perform in either street clothes (which most didn’t bring as they traveled there in their uniforms) or they would supply us with ECH shirts from years past… Or, don’t perform at all, which effectively was asking us to leave."
...
ECH = Emerald City Hoedown
...........
Seattle is one of many left-coast cities caving into the radical, extremist minorities that what their "rights and freedoms" at cost of restrictions to other's "rights and freedoms". A growing social disease out here.

I'd beat they are a lot better looking than the LGBQT+ organizers that didn't approve of their costumes.

Try to keep up. What part of "Emerald City Hoedown”. A hoedown…isn’t that a typical hillbilly event?" did you not get?

Does that sound like LGBT organizers?

Try to learn how to read and comprehend American English.
The article is the one that claimed the LGBQT+XYZ etc. are the ones involved in this event.
Also, living in the PNW, including Seattle at times, I know the turf and the twisted demographics.
 
If the women were black would it be a nappy headed hoedown?

Eh?

Get it?

I'll just be over here.

:(
 
Ted Bundy was from Seattle. Are there other mass murderers from the Seattle area? Now they think the American Flag is un-American. Is there something in the freaking northwest water?

Maybe they should have worn Isis flag themed shirts.

I used to be on this app called "Nextdoor", which various neighborhoods use to keep residents apprised of goings on in their areas. There was a discussion part and one person was on there ranting and raving about supporting Black Lives Matter. Another user called him out for being so political over it and said "all lives matter". The person who said that was reprimanded by the site because saying "all lives matter" was divisive. Apparently saying Black Lives Matter is not divisive. The poster again said he proudly favors the concept that "all lives matter, including blue lives". That poster was then banned from the site while the BLM nutcase over the top poster remained to post his one sided nonsense. I deleted my account and told them why and they didn't seem to give a shit. Saying "all lives matter" is not divisive.
