I live in one of the most liberal voting counties in the USA, with over 70% approval of the state's same sex marriage vote last year. So this recent news came as a shock.
A gay couple new to my community recently opened a business. The building was once a bank and has a flagpole in front. The new guys flew the American flag with the rainbow pride flag beneath it. Within a couple weeks they were contacted by another local business owner who passed on "numerous requests" from people who wanted the flag taken down. The numerous people preferred to remain anonymous. Unfortunately, being new to the community, the guys took down the pride flag.
The local newspaper posted a letter to the editor online written by another local gay business owner, and it has had more responses than anything else they've ever posted. 50 to 1 in favor of flying the pride flag! It's outrageous that a tiny minority of anonymous cowards made the pride flag vanish. If they don't have the balls to identify themselves, they should shut the f#ck up!
I just ordered 3 flags; one for my shop (down the block from the new gay owned business) and 2 to give to friends. If a few people didn't like 1 pride flag flying, I can't wait until the town is full of them!
