State Religion: You cannot dirty the pride flag that is painted on a street without being arrested

[Couchpotato]

Damn that government of freedom embracing the freedom to love and live how you choose. Can’t have that shit.

It’s not the governments job to validate your feelings or lifestyle.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

Were the people who defaced the confederate generals statues charged with a felony?

We have been over that already in one of the other threads. Yea there were felony charges in some of those cases. And to preempt you no I’m not going to do the work for you and provide links. Look it up so you can remember it next time

Correct its job is to prevent bigots from vandalizing public property and it’s doing a good job in this case:. The government’s job is to defend the freedom of its citizens to live and love who they want regardless of the feelings of people who want to restrict loving adults from a consenting relationship. Agian it’s doing a good job in this case/.

They shouldn’t be using public funds to put that or any political messaging on the street to begin with you Jack ass

 

[Concerned American]

The intent of the “pride” flag crosswalk is political. The Government should never be pushing political statements via the public money, unless it’s going to do it for all points of view regardless of how objectionable some people might find them. Why aren’t there crosswalk flags for (insert political movement here)?

If the LGBTQ+ crowd is allowed to deface a crosswalk, the other three crosswalks in the intersection should be allowed to be defaced as well---maybe swastikas, stars and bars, POW-MIA? What's good for one should be good for all.

Keep your hands to yourself and respect other people’s property isn’t that hard, unless you’re a closed minded bigot

So, a pride flag painted on a street, suddenly makes that portion of the street sacred?

 

[tahuyaman]

Time for you to not be such a little bitch that some colors on the road upset you.

Would it be ok to paint rebel flags on a street?

 

[Leo123]

Let's paint MAGA on a street and see how long it takes these leftist assholes to desecrate it.

Just paint the full words Make America Great Again. Liberals would be outraged. They’d want to find the people painted it and charge them with a hate crime.

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

The Pride flag is such a religious emblem that the United States leftist government arm is aggressively seeking out minor, local offenses and throwing the book at these "heretics".

Expressing pride with a flag has nothing to do with religion. The pathological need to destroy it has EVERYTHING to do with religion. A bastardized and perverted interpretation of Christianity

There’s no issue with people flying whatever flag they want. Fly em, burn em, wrap yourself in them or wipe your ass with them. So long as they belong to you more power to you. The Government shouldn’t be using public funds to paint political flags on public streets.

A street isn't someone's property. It's a street.

I hope you understand that.

That’s stupid.

 

[scruffy]

I look in the mirror and see someone who isn’t offended by a painting on the street. You’re not that strong

It has nothing to do with me.

It has to do with my children. And children everywhere.

 

[scruffy]

Wrong. Again.

It applies to private and public property.

Oh. You mean like statues and stuff.

 

[scruffy]

It’s not the governments job to validate your feelings or lifestyle.

It's the government's job to keep the streets open and usable and in good condition.

It's not the government's job to advertise for lifestyles or social causes.

How is a painting on the street a sacred item ?

 

[tahuyaman]

That is a different discussion and I do not disagree. But once they do, you cannot deface public property without facing consequences

So can you no longer drive on that street or walk on that crosswalk because cause that is defacing it?
