Why the Rainbow flag is not a flag of inclusion, but is a Flag representing oppression.

[Lysistrata]

Will you damn propagandist stick with one pejorative to use this is getting old..They're Nazis, they're commies, they're Marxist, they're fascist.....Do you people even know how to converse without the false narratives?

Give us but one real example of how the Pride flag has oppressed you OP.

I am not a Baker, wedding caterer, owner of a B&B, a wedding photographer, a college professor or student.......I have been untouched....

But when they came for the Baker....I said something.
When they came for the college professor, and researchers....I said something.
When they came for conservative speakers....I said something.

You will be silent till the end, on the train car to your work camp....

When life is fair give me a call until then it's every man or woman or whatever for themselves...Yet when I ran my business I never discriminated against the customers money..What I find absurd is that only one sin is enforced by the bakers, cake decorators or whomever takes offence to sin..I didn't know christians were suppose to be lenient in other sins people commit..

Their religious beliefs are their religious beliefs...not to be questioned by you or to be limited or determined by you. We have religious freedom in this country, had it engraved in our Bill of Rights long before fascists like you came along....

So religious beliefs take precedence over the rights of others? Do you realize that there are millions of beliefs floating around in this country? You can make up anything and call it a "belief." It seems to happen a lot.

This is a ridiculous statement. People question other people's beliefs all the time, including right here on USMB. Christians take smacks at other Christians, at Jews, at Muslims, at Pagans (I haven't seen the Sikhs or the Hindus put on the USMB grill yet, but who knows)? This stupid idea that a person's "belief" is paramount certainly has and will continue to increase scrutiny of an asserted "belief." And as you must know, the phenomenon of "cherry picking" among the scriptures of various faiths is quite common.

Yes....religious beliefs take precedent over serving customers.....that is why we have the 1st Amendment. Cherry picking isn't up to you to decide......a persons religious beliefs are their religious beliefs and do not have to pass muster with you....

The first amendment is not absolute, and "beliefs" do not necessarily take precedence over our laws. I can criticize anyone I want to. This is my right under the first amendment. I can criticize people for cherry-picking if I wish.

You fail to even acknowledge that there are millions of beliefs in this country, among the 320+ million of us, so your theory probably would cause social chaos.

You and your religion are not entitled to special treatment. Remember "equal rights, not special rights"?

You also fail to acknowledge that people's "beliefs" are criticized every day, including on USMB. What I said above about USMB is correct.

If you can dish it out, but you can't take it, that's your problem.

Freedom of religion is a core belief in this country, enshrined in the Bill of Rights...you twit. Criticizing beliefs is not the same as suing a baker because his religious beliefs won't allow him to bake a stupid cake....forcing him to do it is fascism of the worst sort.

What part of the Freedom of Religion part are you not understanding....that means yes, me and my religion get special treatment just like you and your religion get special treatment....you moron.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Are you feeling oppressed by LGBT people?

Ask the baker...ask college students....

College students? Do you think all college students are oppressed by LGBT people? Maybe I should ask how you are defining oppression, because you're giving the impression that it is a very low bar.

You’re a special kind of stupid.

Are you also on board with the idea that LGBT = communists = the left = going to take over the country and kill millions?

Everywhere that socialists take total control of a country, they murder people, the bigger the country, the more control, the more people who are killed.......we know this from actual experience, you dope.

About as much as you think the mentally ill are good for society.

In life perhaps it’s better for homophones, bigots and misogynists not to tell the people they hate what they should and should not be ok with.

Those "dam" homophones....... Oooh, they make me so mad.

Want to try an actual reply, or were you planning to just keep things vague and based on things you have no way to know about?

Andrew Klavan puts to words the truth about the Rainbow Flag.....it does not represent inclusion, it represents oppression, and intolerance.....this video starts the commentary on the flag at the 2:06 mark on the video. The opening of the video is great too...

At the 32:16 mark Andrew Klavan and Michael Knowles discuss the Central Park 5 whitewash in the Netflix documentary.......they point out the 5 monsters were not charged with rape, as is presented by those defending the monsters.....they detail the actual reason they were found guilty, and the lies that the left is using to turn them into SJW saints...

Amazing that it took THAT level of backsliding to cause him to leave a leftist church.

I don't even think the rainbow flag was originally exclusively an LGBT thing.
