Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.

I've got an NCR flag in front of my house. It would actually be hilarious if some dude in Roman legion garb came to my house and demanded I take it down.

New California Republic. It's from the fallout games. As is their rivals, Caesars legion.

You do not fly Ravens gear in Cleveland. You're likely to get shot.

We also don't like Pittsburgh, but we at least respect their right to exist.
