    Get over it Grandpa. People do not want gay pride flafs flying in their towns. Just like they don't need heterosexual pride flags flying over their town.

    Let me make this perfectly clear Grandpa. I am all for gay rights. Let these people do as they want, without fear of discrimation or harassment. But Grandpa, that does not mean that their behavior is normal, acceptible, or healthy. There is nothing
    pleasureable about putting your dick up another mans ass, or sucking some anonymous dick from some pickup in a bar or wherever. Most of us find this behavior repulsive, we do not want flags hanging that give any validation to this behavior. Let these
    folks do as they want. but don;t expect normal people to embrace this. It is disgusting, unclean, and spreads disease. I do not know of any gays, don't want to know any of them, they add nothing to my life. They are not better or worse than any other
    fringe group, they have a right to exist, but we also have a right to dissavow these disgusting behaviors. They add nothing to anyone's life, except a lot of noise. They need to STFU, do what they want quietly and discreatly. but stop the boo hoo BS
    when people don't embrace it.

    Poor parenting produces transgendered and gay kids. It starts from poor parenting. Something is clearly wrong at home. It is easy to say folks are born that way, great way to legitimize deviance. Yea, boys are born and predestined genetically to cut
    their dicks off and be women, or be gay and want to engage in male to male sex. I look at all those beautiful women out there, including my wife, and cannot comprehend how someone would rather suck a dick or get screwed up the butt in place of time
    with a beautiful woman. Something is clearly lacking with these people, as those that rant on and on about all this gay pride BS. Well to each their own. Sick is sick, call it what you want, but don't whine when people give the middle finger to flags
    or memorials that glamorize what is clearly deviant and filthy.

    Flags that advocate one's sexuality can be hung on your private residences or properties , but should not be allowed on public properties.

    Remember old man, gay people take their penises and put them up the rectums of other men. They put their penises in the mouths of other men, often strangers. This is behavior that does not sound very sexy in all honestly. sounds really dirty and nasty,
    and has been proven to be painful and unhealthy. To each their own, I could care less what another man does with his dick, but I don't need to see flags in a public setting that even remotely give validation to these disgusting, filthy, and perverse
    behaviors. Why can't these gays just do their "thing" quietly, without all this fanfare. We really don't care, they have every right to do as they please. Just STFU and do it, gay people don't need flags, straight people don't need flags. All these
    dumbells need to grow the hell up.

    How about a flag for folks with combovers, would you advocate for that too? Or a flag for attention seekers that count money on Youtube. yea I think we need a flag for that too. How about a flag for college dropouts? LOLOL!!!! Flags to promote a
    cause or make people feel better are stupid. You need a flag to justify your lifestyle, what an idiot you are.

    'Pride flags political? Kettle Moraine School Board
    affirms ban

    The Kettle Moraine School Board voted Tuesday night,
    Aug. 16 to keep a policy in place that bans pride flags
    and other items. Board member Jim Romanowski was the
    sole no vote, saying he changed his mind about the
    policy after hearing from students and staff. The
    superintendent says pride flags are considered
    political and, therefore, against the employee Code of
    Conduct. Students and the ACLU question that.'

    And:

    'Several people spoke in support of the policy, but
    the majority of public comment was strongly against
    it.'

    Get over it Grandpa. People do not want gay pride flafs
    flying in their towns. Just like they don't need
    heterosexual pride flags flying over their town.
    Apparently, you can't read.

    Let me make this perfectly clear Grandpa. I am all for
    gay rights. Let these people do as they want, without
    fear of discrimation or harassment. But Grandpa, that
    does not mean that their behavior is normal, acceptible,
    or healthy. There is nothing pleasureable about putting
    your dick up another mans ass, or sucking some anonymous
    dick from some pickup in a bar or wherever. Most of us
    find this behavior repulsive, we do not want flags
    hanging that give any validation to this behavior. Let
    these folks do as they want. but don;t expect normal
    people to embrace this. It is disgusting, unclean, and
    spreads disease. I do not know of any gays, don't want
    to know any of them, they add nothing to my life. They
    are not better or worse than any other fringe group, they
    have a right to exist, but we also have a right to
    dissavow these disgusting behaviors. They add nothing to
    anyone's life, except a lot of noise. They need to STFU,
    do what they want quietly and discreatly. but stop the
    boo hoo BS when people don't embrace it.
    What does any of that have to do with whether or not
    someone wants to assert their first amendment rights?

    Oh, right!

    For people of your ilk, the first amendment only applies
    to people trying to suppress what YOU say.

    The flags are political , and even if not, represent the
    lowest rung of society. You wanna be gay, fine, go for it.
    Just do it quietly, we do not need gay flags, straight flags,
    transgender flags. What fools. You need a flag to give
    credibility to your life style?
    No. Flags are NOT political.

    And even if they are, how does that override someone's first
    amendment rights?

    And, my my, just 5 minutes for your reply.

    People are have no problem with the rights of perverts to suck
    each other off and screw each other up their rumps, but they have
    a problem with a flag that in any way legitimizes this
    disgusting unhealthy behavior. We don't need straight flags, we
    dont need queer flags. Really silly, to fly flags boasting about
    our sexual preferences.

    Interesting that you pick this issue.
    It points up the hypocrisy of people like you very well.

    Whether you think it's silly or not, do you agree that the first
    amendment prevents governments from banning this kind of "speech"?

    Yes or no.

    Flags that advocate one's sexuality can be hung on your private
    residences or properties , but should not be allowed on public
    properties.

    Failure to answer the question.

    And they're not just banning the flag.


    Remember old man, gay people take their penises and put them up the
    rectums of other men. They put their penises in the mouths of other
    men, often strangers. This is behavior that does not sound very
    sexy in all honestly. sounds really dirty and nasty, and has been
    proven to be painful and unhealthy. To each their own, I could care
    less what another man does with his dick, but I don't need to see
    flags in a public setting that even remotely give validation to these disgusting, filthy, and perverse behaviors. Why can't these gays
    just do their "thing" quietly, without all this fanfare. We really
    don't care, they have every right to do as they please. Just STFU
    and do it, gay people don't need flags, straight people don't need
    flags. All these dumbells need to grow the hell up.

    Irrelevant.
