It must be hard to be this fragile little bitch of a bigot.

And that’s basically it!
Ya know....I really hate that people use the term "snowflake" to describe soft sensitive people. My logic is simple. When I grew up, I was taught that snowflakes were unique and beautiful. Individually a work of art on their own or can work together to form something greater.
I don't want that beautiful word to describe these foul creatures.
Instead I suggest they are called "little bitches". Use that term instead of snowflakes from now on.
Hey now, us bitches work hard! This pathetic human being that can’t look at a rainbow flag without feeling shame, regret, and evil, he needs therapy.
Therapy and a long time spent in exile away from society.
Besides, where would you be without bitches and their bitchcraft? Absolutely maidenless, that’s where.
And not a single person has complained about being “forced” to see all the churches he also goes past.
Waiting for the precedent so the ~~Church of Satan~~ Satanic Temple can abuse the fuck out of it to start forcing churches into seclusion
I have complained about that. I just didn't file a lawsuit...
Welp, now you have your ~~mission~~ purpose in life.
Would be fun to see this lawsuit succeeding.
The Satanic Temple would have a field day suing everything christian by this precedent.
It's very simple. We'll get rid of the pride flags as soon as they get rid of all the crosses. Fair is fair, after all.
The fucking crosses, man.
You think Jesus ever would want to see another cross again?
Dude wouldn't be able to take Public Transit in Boston.
If Jesus came back he probably wouldn't even use the letter "t".
Imagine resurrecting into a world full of people wearing crosses with you nailed to them all just acting like it's not fucked
I also think the Progress Pride Flag represents conduct and actions I view as sin. Not like, gender/sexual sin. Design sin.
The rainbow flag was already perfect. The rainbow flag to me says "human behavior exists on a spectrum, and everyone matters". It's beautiful, elegant. The stripes don't represent distinct groups, though sinners (the flag redesigners, not LGBTQ+ people) have tried. The flag itself represents harmony in diversity. You can't get better than that, no notes.
The Progress flag is meddling with a perfect formula. It takes a perfect symbol to celebrate diversity itself and plasters it with footnotes. By highlighting specific groups that were included by the rainbow in the first place, it just opens the door to more and more complex revisions to include more and more distinct groups. It turns a poignant symbol of broad inclusiveness into a weird patchwork of granular inclusiveness. That would seem like hyperbole if the pictured flag wasn't already the intersex-inclusive revision.
It's just sloppy vexillology. The rainbow flag is awesome. Why are we fucking with it?
That's basically my problem with the term "LGBT(Q(IA(+)))" but as a basically straight white dude my input has very little weight. I think SAGA is cleaner (Sexuality And Gender Acceptance/Alliance), covers all the bases while being a pronounceable word with a poetic meaning. "Queer" works too but has too much baggage in some regions.
Hear hear. I refuse to use it for this exact reason. The rainbow flag is such a strong symbol!
I see confederate flags round here all the time and I don't feel forced to celebrate the confederacy.. idiot.
It's important to see both sides of any argument. The winning side, and the losing side.
Religion has no more validity than any other work of fiction or any other fandom. There, I fucking said what we are all thinking.
Next up, someone suing because someone is displaying merch from a rivaling sports team
Christians like this are SO addicted to seeing themselves as victims.
Well the alternative is that they would have to help the poor and generally be a good member of society and that's too much like hard work so it's much easier to claim that they are the victim.
having to see a Progress Pride flag … forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin”
If it only was that easy to get people to celebrate, recognize, and solemnize gay sex, world would be a better place no doubt.
How does seeing something equate to celebration, recognition, or solemnization?
If this works, is it not precedent to make the same complaint every time I see a cross?
Fucking snowflakes
Everyone has so many theories about this guy’s motivations. I think it’s just capitalism manifest. This guy sees a way to make a buck litigating. Welcome to America.
effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin”
Well then it's a good thing that, "sin” as a purely theological term, has no meaning to the US government. Right?
Cue the 6 SCOTUS fucks busting through the wall like the koolaid man to make sinning illegal in their quest to turn the US into a christofascist theocracy

When do I get to abolish all Christmas songs and imagery from workplaces on the basis that I’m offended by looking at it and hearing it as a non Christian?
I feel the same every time I see a cross, where's my compensation?
Has he considered reading the Bible and following the teachings of Jesus Christ? It might help him understand what Christianity is supposed to be about.
This guy deserves to be fired immediately without compensation.
So can all his coworkers sue them because they have to look at this bigoted piece of shit every day?

Can I sue Eric Batman for having to see that he exists, and being upset by that fact?
Forcing me to see a crosses and churches on my drive to work violate my religious beliefs all.
Fascist sues because he's reminded daily that he could be a nice and caring person if he wanted to
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... The United States of America
You know, if youre gonna be this pathetic we should be able to exile you to an island.
I know I'm probably bucking the hive mind here, but I would actually support legislation that government owned building can fly only city, state, and country flags. I'm completely in on making sure that government policies are inclusive and protective of those needing them, but flags just seem performative. In fact, they could be counter productive; flying them "in support" while policies do not.
Can I sue this guy for the disgust I feel inside me when I read about him suing for seeing a flag he doesn't like? Does this mean I can also sue every church forcing me to see a cross and forcing me to hear these fucking annoying bells every fucking hour?
Funny story, I filed a complaint about the church bells near me. I found out it's not the church ringing them, which would fall under the constitutional law freedom of religion of my country, but it is done by a foundation consisting of volunteers which does not fall under the freedom of religion law as it's not a religious organization so it is considered noise pollution.
I didn't get a reply, which is also against the law.
I'm suing my employer because it rained today and I saw a rainbow.
disgusting.

I used to have to drive past this fucking thing on my way to work. We banning those too?

Tell me a story about the US without telling me it's a story about the US.
Why do so many right-wing Christians sound like the villain from a Criminal Minds episode?
Like...this MFer thinks he has a right to make other people not exist for his comfort. Fucking psycho when you dig into it.
