ROCKLEDGE, FL (CBS Local) – A Florida community has rallied behind a mother of three who was ordered to remove a rainbow flag from her lawn. According to reports, an email was sent to the woman’s landlord, which compared the symbol of LGBTQ rights to the Confederate flag.
Jennifer Raymond, a resident in the Ashwood Lakes subdivision of Rockledge, has reportedly flown the rainbow flag outside her family’s home for the last two years. Raymond told local reporters that her landlord recently received an email from a member on the neighborhood’s architectural review committee. The email claimed that Raymond’s flag violated the community’s rules of hanging anything besides the American, state, or military flags.
The problem with the member’s claims was that the neighborhood bylaws don’t mention flags at all. When presented with this information, the unidentified board member wrote, “allowing the flag to be flown is setting a precedence for other homeowners to fly other offensive flags – for example, the Confederate flag,” according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“The Confederacy supported slavery,” Raymond added. “(The rainbow flag is) a symbol of equality and acceptance of all.”
News of the controversial email quickly spread, culminating in a rally of at least two dozen residents on April 29 in support of the lesbian mother’s right to fly her flag. “I couldn’t keep up with how fast things were happening, really,” Raymond added.
Prior to the rally, the homeowners association in Rockledge had already informed Raymond that she could continue to fly the rainbow flag and the person who sent the erroneous letter acted alone. The HOA added that they would be taking steps to make sure other homeowners are not harassed in the same way moving forward.

Just as the terms "gay," "queer" and "gender" were hijacked, and "pride" is currently in the process of being hijacked.
Under the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005, it is illegal for an HOA to prohibit the display of the U.S. flag.
I'd support that.
To me, it's always the double-standard that infuriates me the most. For example, if I committed 30,000 counts of gross negligence for classified information I'd be in prison, but Mrs. Bill Clinton walks free.
Folks, other articles I’ve read indicates this was STAGED.
A FALSE FLAG, if you will.
Like when a black guy paints a racist word on his fence and claims racism.
This is just another minority ploy to play the victim card.
Unless you are a baker or florist . . . . .
Answer: Because otherwise, the species does not continue.
Doesn’t anyone ever proof read these things?! I mean...”woman”?!
Another False flag attack. Both literally and figuratively.
Lets see what happens if I fly a Danish Flag. The folks in the North West called a Norwegian one a confederate flag?
My mom used to fly the Gadsen Flag from her front porch.
She lived in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. In the later years of her life the flag drew stares and snotty comments from her new Millenial Liberal neighbors.
Had she lived a bit longer they might be trying to make her take it down.
You've got that right. HOAs are also breeding grounds for fascists in training who often can't find a job higher up when their training is done and they've emerged as a full fascist.
Probably true. The way to tell them apart is God’s rainbow has 7 colors, and the LGBLT flag has 6 colors.
A friend of mine lived in an HOA community and named the association’s president “Hitler,” for good reason.
The Rainbow - God’s Promise: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
(Genesis 9:13-16 NIV)
The Bible clearly teaches that society will degenerate in the end times, becoming as evil as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39). The Apostle Paul, speaking as a prophet, says that society will descend into a black pit of immorality, violence, and paganism (2 Timothy 3:1-5). He asserts that men will be “lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure.” People will be “boastful, arrogant, and unholy,” and children will be “disobedient to parents.”
Sounds like the evening news, doesn’t it? In short, we have arrived. http://christinprophecy.org/articles/living-for-christ-in-the-end-times/
Remeber:
Or rinse out your gondola before inviting visitors.
The HOA told me to take down the U.S. flag from the inside of my window. I did not comply.
On my Fakebook Page I had posted a Photoshop of the White House lit up as the Confederate Battle Flag after Obama lit it up as the Rainbow Flag to celebrate the SCOTUS eviscerating the Constitution with their Gay Marriage decision.
An old Coworker of mine, a raging Lib, proceeded to unfriend me because of it. I thought she had done it because I had eviscerated a few of her brain dead Lib friends who personally attacked me for daring to disagree with them. Hateful old biddies who called me all sorts of names.
I later found out from another old Coworker her reason for unfriending me. She thought the Photoshop was just awful.
I assume she wants to ban History Books describing the Civil War as well. I worked with her for fifteen years and now she hates my guts because we disagree Politically.
“Under the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005, it is illegal for an HOA to prohibit the display of the U.S. flag.”
There can be restrictions though,for example flag size and location.
