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.

I despise the LGBTQIDIOTs. I also despise HOAs that overreach. Most of the people offended at this reprehensible flag coming down are probably people who cheer when an American flag or a POW/MIA flag has to come down. As much as I am cheering for the two sides in this squall to destroy each other, this pervert woman is in the right in the sense that she should be able to fly her LGBTQIDIOT flag, just as normal people should be able to fly a real flag.

Even more it’s a distortion of the sign God made to Noah that he wouldn’t do that great flood again.

Precisely why the Sodomites and their ilk were not satisfied with civil unions or other legislation to gain the rights such as hospital visitation which they claimed was all they wanted. They just had to blow up the whole institution of marriage.

I can hardly wait until the first Sodomite gets dragged into divorce court. One of them is getting sued because the other is having lots of sex outside marriage. The other defends the practice by pointing out how normal it is in "their" culture to have dozens or even hundreds of sex partners, including anonymous strangers. How will the judiciary sort that out? I wonder if Judge Kennedy even considered such when he decided to be the tie breaker.

We already had that loser at CNN suggest it’s okay to let your signifcant other cheat on you. Given that the man is a homosexual it’s no surprise he would see being cheated on as “normal”.
