Homophobes are 'American flagging’ their Facebook profile pictures as a protest against Pride

Yahoo ^ | July 1, 2015

[PROCON]

Last week, millions of Facebook users gave their profile pictures a rainbow makeover to celebrate the double Pride/Supreme Court same-sex marriage ruling but an unpleasant backlash has begun.

The translucent rainbow tool was laid on by Facebook itself, but a number of third-party apps are now offering an American flag equivalent to people opposed to gay marriage and equality in general.

We are definitely closer to the End Days.

These people are bat sh*t crazy.

Project much, “yahoo”? Kate Solomon should be fired for this nonsense hit piece. She’ll likely be promoted :(

[Awgie]

To the melody, “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”

“If It’s Gay and it’s Ghetto then it’s good
America is on the right road,
Forget Mom and Pop, the red white and blue,
The Rainbow Flag is for me and you!

Heh.
Good ol' Yahoo! news. At least they're consistent.

Consistently stupid.

Flags always come out on the 4th of July especially. What an idiot to write such things.

I left FB long ago, but if I were still there, iI would be classified as a “homophobe”, I guess.

From the Greek:

“homo” means “The same”
“phobe” means “fear”

So, the word “homophobe” is totally irrational, as it’s etiology says it “fears the same”.

That’s just dumb.

Equality means you must equally share their opinion and enthusiasm.

“Yahoo” is such an appropriate name for that joke of an organization.

The Rainbow Sheep make me laugh.

[PROCON]

Oooh, you're a "homophobe" and a "racist", way to go Sarge!

[windsorknot]

Yahoo. They fit the definition.

[G Larry]

phobia is Latin for “fear”.

What is Latin for “disgust”?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Homophobe? They’re afraid of humans?

[7thson]

Someone called me that years ago. My reply was I don’t fear them, I just don’t like them or their behavior.

[CodeToad]

Sodomy is nothing to be proud of.

Homosexuality is a mental disorder worthy of treatment not encouragement.

Or maybe … just maybe … people are doing it because Independence Day is Saturday? But then, that wouldn’t even dawn on the folks at Yahoo, would it?

[PROCON]

Yes, I’m just plain old Homo-Nauseous.

[bigbob]

Cancelling FB would send a message

Indeed.

But now, it is not enough to merely mind one’s own business and leave ‘em alone (Tolerance).

Now, unless you CELEBRATE THEIR BEHAVIOR in though, word, and deed, you are a homophobe.
