A Michigan city with an all-Muslim government has banned LGBTQ+ flags from public areas after a bizarre hourslong meeting that saw displays of passion from both sides.
A woman wearing a clown nose made a speech at the meeting - which was so well attended people were listening from the hallways - mocking the council and its majority-Muslim population during the public comment portion of the Hamtramck City Council before kissing a woman standing next to her Tuesday night.
'Sure, many Hamtramck residents have fled countries where being gay is a death sentence, but nothing says we have to make it 'comforting' and 'welcoming' here,' the woman said.
'While we can't legally discriminate against LGBTQ people in the United States anymore, the City of Hamtramck can say, 'Ew, no, be proud somewhere else.''
Some members of the all-Muslim council said the Pride flag clashes with the beliefs of some members of their faith. Businesses and residents aren´t prohibited from displaying a Pride flag on their own property.
'You guys are welcome,' council member Nayeem Choudhury said. '(But) why do you have to have the flag shown on government property to be represented? You´re already represented. We already know who you are.'
'We want to respect the religious rights of our citizens,' Choudhury said.
Hamtramck, population 27,000, is an enclave surrounded by Detroit. More than 40% of residents were born in other countries, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and a significant share are of Yemeni or Bangladeshi descent.
Hamtramck became the first city in America to have a majority Muslim population in 2015.
The two women kissing were followed up by Dearborn activist Hassan Aoun, who spoke passionately against the Pride flag on public property.

Yeah, its pretty reasonable imo.

Ragheads and fags
Build a wall around the place
It's also doubtful they'd allow Pride flags in Kiryas Joel or any other Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
Good point. Just what side will the FIB take here?
Mooselimbs or Rainbow homos?
Wow what a problem.
Dude, ponder Holland, MI, New Berlin, WI, Warsaw, IN etc.😃

Enemy of my enemy. Other scores can be settled later.
