And here is a summary of her legal decision.....

"All of these flags, although they contained religious imagery, are secular flags of sovereign nations… Permitting such flags to be flown also allowed for the City’s purpose of “commemorate[ing] flags from many countries and communities” and is not similar to the Christian flag proposed to be flown by Shurtleff, which was a religious flag… The Court is not convinced that flags of countries or secular organizations and entities that contain religious references or imagery are the same as the Christian flag that Shurtleff sought to fly from the City’s flagpole, which nobody disputes is a non-secular flag."

Boston Doesn’t Have to Fly a Christian Flag at City Hall, Says Judge

And how does this ruling make absolutely any sense at all? Wait you’re a democrat lol

Why do these same "Christians" oppose other religious flags flying on government property??

Sorry fake Christian....this is not a theocracy...

There are plenty of places you can go and try to start your own tho….but it aint happening here...deal with it

Personally I would not. If a city hall wanted to raise various flags on a certain day to say, note a unity of the community, I would be OK with that. I will admit though, there would be many throwing a conniption fit when they flew a Islamic flag. Hence they have decided it's not worth the hassle.

I'm OK with that also.

Exactly. If a city hall opened up to various flags, including religious ones, then it could not show any favoritism for one religion over another.

Let the dominant race I mean religion win

Win what ? That statement sums up your problem in a nut shell. Your limited intellect has you believing that there has to be winners and losers- that it is a zero sum game . That is not the case. Everyone can have freedom and when I advocate for my rights, and the rights of others, it takes nothing away from you, unless you believe that people who believe differently, and live differently do not have a right to exist, because they assail your primitive sensibilities .

Its not the "Gay Flag" It symbolizes inclusiveness for all people regardless of race, or religion and yes sexual orientation. Deal with it. Only bigots find it controversial

You mean gay non hetero sexual orientation....right?

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?

Christianity has a flag?

Nope. It has a money sign.

 

[Syriusly]

First time I've heard of a Christian flag.

Christianity has a flag?

Yes, Christianity has a flag. Holy crap do you guys live under a rock?

'a flag'?

You mean there is one flag that Catholics and Baptists and Methodists and Christian Scientists and Mormons all agree on?

Please share that with us.

Seriously, how is it that in 2020 people still don't know how to fucking use Google?

Christian Flag - Wikipedia

"The Christian Flag is an ecumenical flag designed in the early 20th century to represent all of Christianity and Christendom.[1] Since its adoption by the Federal Council of Churches in 1942, it has been used by many Christian traditions,[2][1] including the Anglican,[3] Baptist,[4] Mennonite,[5] Methodist,[2][6] Moravian,[7] Lutheran,[8] Presbyterian,[8] Quaker,[9] Reformed, among others.[10]"

LOL I will admit that I didn't know that many Protestants had agreed on a Christian Flag.

Of course since the largest Christian denomination in the world doesn't use it......it is really 'a Christian Flag'- not 'the Christian flag'- but hey- I have learned something new today- so thank you.

So has the OP shown us yet what "fight is on"?

Judge Rules Boston Can Ban Christian Flag from Being Raised Outside City Hall | BCNN1 - Black Christian News Network

This is getting national recognition.

a Constitutionalist in Boston has been fighting to get city of Boston to raise the Christian flag for a day.
They have TOLD THEM NO! In recent months they have raised the communist flag of China! They have raised the gay flag! But they REFUSE to raise the Christian flag!

democrats think the city belongs to them and not the people! Well they will learn the hard way!

Judge Rules Boston Can Ban Christian Flag from Being Raised Outside City Hall | BCNN1 - Black Christian News Network


Please share on Facebook!

Your own link clearly states that this is the first time someone attempted to raise a flag representing a religion. Government support of a religion is prohibited by the first amendment. Get over it.

Rubbish, as usual.

Thank you for that well thought out and articulate reply. As always you raise the bar on the level of intellectual discourse on the USMB

You think you raise it or something? Isn't there some pedophile somewhere being 'oppressed and persecuted' you need to rescue or something?

Boston Has Flown 300 Flags at City Hall but Rejects Christian Flag - Judge Says That's OK

City of Boston has flown over 300 flags including the communist Chinese flag the homosexual flag why can’t the majority of peoples religion in Boston put their flag on our hall! It doesn’t belong to the mayor it doesn’t belong to the judge it belongs to the people


Turkish flag several times despite its Islamic symbolism, according to the Boston Herald.

FAITHWIRE: Boston Bans Christian Flag While Allowing 284 Other Flags to Fly

In addition, the city has flown the Cuban, Chinese, and Vatican flags in front of its municipal buildings. The city has also hoisted the LGBTQ rainbow flag.

These are the flags of nations, with the exception of the non-religious rainbow diversity/unity flag. Flags that merely represent a specific religion should not fly in neutral venues. Religions are extremely controversial, especially given the controversial people who claim that they represent these religions. Houses of worship are free to fly the flags of their respective religions.

And the gay flag is not controversial go away you troll

Its not the "Gay Flag" It symbolizes inclusiveness for all people regardless of race, or religion and yes sexual orientation. Deal with it. Only bigots find it controversial

Huh it includes straight people? Huh? Straight people have a flag?

Oh please!! What the fuck is your problem? What part of inclusiveness do you not understand. Do you remember Jessie Jackson' s rainbow coalition? Or do you have your head so far up your ass that you don't even know about it. If you are on a mission to convince me that you're stupid, you're doing a good job of it.

So where is my straight flag?? Will city hall put it up?

Update! And it’s Bs!
In the wake of our lawsuit, the City of Boston came up with the rules for flag-raising ceremonies. Rule 1 excludes "religious movements" whatever that means, but Rule 3, says that participants can't discriminate based on sex, race, and religion. So, the City can discriminate against religion but participants can't. Rule 1 reads that flags can't be offensive. Offensive to whom? I think that the answer is obvious: Offensive to the Marxists who run the city. A communist flag is not offensive to Mayor Marty Walsh and City Councilor Matt O'Malley even thought they are offensive to people who love liberty.

City of Boston Property Management Department Flag Raising Rules 1. At no time will the City of Boston display flags deemed to be inappropriate or offensive in nature or those supporting discrimination, prejudice, or religious movements.

2. Flag raisings must occur on a normal business work day, generally between the hours of 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. Requests to raise a flag on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday will normally be referred to the business day before or after the weekend or holiday. If an applicant requests a flag raising outside of the above times, he or she must seek a waiver from the Commissioner of Property Management Department and provide an adequate justification. The decision of the Commissioner will be final.

3. All flag raising events must be open to members of the public. Guests must adhere to the City of Boston policy not to discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, etc.

4. The guest must deliver the appropriate size flag to the City of Boston PMD and retrieve the guest flag after the raising. The flag must be clean and serviceable flag with dimensions no less than 3 feet wide by 5 feet long and no greater than 10 feet wide by 15 feet long. PMD and the City of Boston will not be responsible for guest flags not retrieved.

5. All events must be consistent with the City of Boston’s sustainability goals, including its efforts toward making Boston a zero waste city.

6. If ordered, flags may be lowered to comply with the U.S. Flag Code. If the Governor or other appropriate authority orders that the U.S. Flag be flown at half-staff, no other flag may be flown higher than the U.S. Flag.

7. Guest flags will normally only be flown 24 hours or less.

This is what you find on the City's website:


" We want to create an environment in the City where everyone feels included, and is treated with respect. We also want to raise awareness in Greater Boston and beyond about the many countries and cultures around the world. Our goal is to foster diversity and build and strengthen connections among Boston's many communities."

But this is a lie. Marty Walsh and the City Council do not treat conservative Christians with respect, and the city sure isn't interested in building and strengthening connections among Boston's "many communities."

And here we see the city with a list of dates for flag-raising events (They leave off Communist China):

February 15
Lithuania
March 6
Ghana
March 8
Tibet
March 14
Ireland
May 3
Poland
May 17
Haiti
May 31
Boston Pride Week

Chile
September 12
El Salvador
September 14
Central America
September 16

Taiwan

But the city is in violation of state law almost every time a foreign flag is raised on the plaza:

Section 8: Foreign flag; display; penalty; exception

Section 8. Whoever displays the flag or emblem of a foreign country upon the outside of a state, county, city or town building or public schoolhouse shall be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars; but, except as to public schoolhouses, this section shall not apply when a citizen of such foreign country becomes the guest of the United States or of the commonwealth, or when a diplomatic representative of a foreign country is a guest at said public building and, if the governor by proclamation authorizes the flag of the country of which such guest is a citizen to be displayed upon public buildings.

The 1st Amendment makes no mention of separation of church and state. Boston’s official seal and flag contain a Bible verse and many churches are used by the city for voting on election days. I do believe in separation of state and school. Christians should never send their children to the Unitarian prep schools known as government schools. Education cannot be neutral. It must have a foundation. Government schools are bastions of atheism and socialism. The official religion of Boston is Humanism.

I still don't get this guy's motive. What is he trying to prove? Where did you get the notion that Boston has an official religion, anyway?

I take it that this "government schools" garbage actually means public schools, which are open to all. Where did you get the notion that people of the Unitarian faith run the public schools?Why are you so bigoted against Unitarians in the first place? You also seem to be bigoted against Humanists. Your version of the Christian faith seems to be very hostile toward others, which is very un-Christian.

 

[Terence Millar]

The Christian flag promotes a religion.
The LGBT flag promotes equality.

Where is the Straight? Where is anything that represents traditional American values? The flag is extremely controversial. Authoritarian, and not unifying.

There is a Bible verse on our Boston flag. Boston according to Massachusetts state law isn’t supposed to have foreign flags anywhere near City Hall unless they have a countries Foreign leader visiting. ( very high up) we have displayed the Islamic symbol on a flag on City Hall. We are asking that the majority religion of Boston have a flag raised for a day. Why not
