Upon reading this story, I was initially inclined to think it not quite as big a deal as its patrotic detractors seem to be implying. It did, however, subsequently occur to me just how outraged the Philadelphia educational and other politically-related institutions would be if anyone in equivalent positions of releative public influence spoke out in opposition to this degenerate scheme, or in favor of similarly respectful treatment for the flags & banners of various anti-system associations, such as the old German NSDAP, the 19th century Ku Klux Klan, or even the present-day Council of Conservative Citizens.
Judge orders city: Fly the 'gay' flag
Federal jurist sides with homosexuals seeking 49 rainbow banners on bridge
June 8, 2005
A federal judge is siding with homosexual activists in America's oldest city, ordering St. Augustine, Fla., to fly 49 "gay-pride" flags on its Bridge of Lions.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Henry Lee Adams Jr. says the rainbow banners are to be flown for six days starting today.
"Permitting a group to fly their flag from the Bridge of Lions enables that group to say 'We exist and this is what we stand for,'" said Karen Doering, staff attorney with the National Center for Lesbian Rights. "By denying this application, these city administrators are denying my clients their constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of speech and equal access under the law. That violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments."

I just got it.
Communities used to tar and feather idiots now and again, and ride them out of town on a rail. Now I begin to understand why. Sometimes, it is the only logical response to insanity.

I've long thought the practice is overdue for resurrection. It's non-lethal, but it gets the point across.

Interesting how some people here want to inflict physical harm on people due to their sexual orientation (particularly the ones who were born that way) yet with another group that is despised here (Jews) I don't hear anyone wishing for work camp wishes and dreams.

IMHO, they have gone way too far and are ruining the country by pushing their agendas via judicial rulings. I believe that other posters meant that as well.
MAKING a locality fly these flags is inane--and it oversteps the bounds of the bench. I'm pretty tired of the limp wrists finding a sympathetic judge that wished others to be indoctrinated in their abysmal ways.

One, I took the tar and feathering recommendation to be for the federal judge, not the homos. (When, oh when will we ever get a governor, state legislature or even a mayor for that matter, to tell a federal judge to stick it in his ear and back it up with calling out the state militia or guard?)
Two, I think jews were born that way. Homos weren't.

Freedom of speech and equal access...? Somehow I do not think a Federal judge would order the city of St. Augustine, Florida to fly 49 fylfot flags on that bridge.

This is indeed a most curious ruling for a court to make. Why should a social organization have the right to fly a flag? I believe that homosexuals are made by nature, not nurture, but the gay rights movement is a political issue. What territory did the gays ever controll?
