Walking around Manhattan during the month of June, Rainbow Pride flags are on display everywhere. In the windows of large chain stores and banks, as well as small eateries and bars.
Williams Sonoma had a display of dishes in their window that represented the Rainbow Pride flag colors. Zara clothing store was selling men's tank tops that look like they were specially designed to replicate the exact shades of each of the Rainbow Pride flag colors. They all hung from a rack in the designated order of colors, approximating the flag. Last night, Madison Square Garden was lit up in Rainbow Pride flag colors, while transgender pop star, Sam Smith, performed, in what seemed to be the culmination of Pride month in New York.
Yet filling the gaps between all these various businesses who are so eager to show their support for Pride Month, were many Muslim owned smoke shops, bodegas, and Middle Eastern restaurants, none of whom had the Pride flag on display.
Last June, during Pride Month, a pro LGBT rally was held in Chicago. A pro-LGBT Jewish group marched with Rainbow flags that had the Star of David in the middle. The organizers of the march told these protestors that they were not allowed to display this flag because the march was "officially pro-Palestinian", so the Star of David might be offensive to Muslims.
It is now the norm that any demonstration by Left wingers, be it for abortion, environmentalism, Gay rights, immigration, etc, are all "officially pro-Palestinian". Black Lives Matter's charter calls for end to all diplomatic and economic relations with Israel.
Sadly, Jewish Liberals are desperate to be part of the whole Rainbow party, and are required to check their Jewishness at the door, as it might be tainted by Zionism, or just plain money grubbing greed. How happy the Left wingers would be to see Muslims marching with a Rainbow flag with the Muslim Star and Crescent in the middle. But you'll never see that flag anywhere. No Muslim would dare wave it or wear it. Meanwhile, the Jewish Liberals, so eager to show their LGBT pride, are told that their Jewish Rainbow Pride flags are not wanted and are insensitive.
You would think that Muslims would appreciate the support they get from Left wingers, in their zeal to fight Islamophobia, and would be willing to recipricate. But apparently, the alliance between the LGBT crowd and Muslims is a one way street.
That's the way moral vanity works. It's not about compassion for people who are truly in need. Nor is about a true alliance between people who need help, and those who want to give help. It's about people who want to show their moral superiority over others, even though the beneficiaries of this so called kindness and tolerance, have, at best, disinterest, and at worst, contempt, for those who are bending over backwards to show their compassion and tolerance to them.
The fact that not one Muslim owned business in the most Gay friendly area of one of the most Liberal cities in the world was willing to display the Rainbow Pride flag during Pride month, is a great example of the hypocrisy and futility of Left wing moral vanity.
Homosexual “pride” month has become liberals’ Ramadan. Complete with forbidden foods and mandatory moral peacocking.
Liberal insanity actually gets worse than this.
Fury as watchdog says it’s OK to send gay people death threats – but only if you’re Muslim

Daphne Bramham: Vancouver Pride float protesting Sharia law acceptable in 2011, but banned in 2017

Suddenly I feel like patronizing a Muslim store!
Since Muslims are at Protected Class Level 4, they are allowed to put their religion over Protected Class 3, Gays. Christians are not even slightly protected so don’t even try.
They wish to proclaim their attitude about homosexuals from the *rooftops*.
You’d starve in West Hollywood
Just saying
Nashville has two or three little gay areas
Woodland
Church st
Melrose as does Houston oddly in fact Melrose Houston is a big five homo area and where Michael Berry got outed
I wish my little daughter could ask a gay leader where she is on that rainbow. My daughter adores rainbows. It seems like you have to be gay, trans, queer, questioning to even be a part of their rainbow. Too bad you have no part of their rainbow unless you have some sexual difference.
“What if one of the rainbow flag wearers went into a muzzy store?”
The heeshee might not walk out again. One muzzie up front means six or seven in the back. Aloha Snackbar!
An Incarnation yes new not exactly they’ve been around for a while
Somewhere on the subconscious level they know.
The rainbow flag should be a Brown Flag dripping with Disease.
I’m not Muslim, certainly not gay and there is no way in hell I would ever celebrate gayness/depravity. Ever.
It’s an example of a misguided cause collapsing upon itself.
Don't answer it.. I know they are....
And the Pulse nightclub massacre happened because Florida didn’t pass gay rights legislation
I would love to see a Gay Pride parade with a decorated wood chipper like the one Hussein had, sarc on.( just incase a black chopper flys over my house)
They do! They think allah in his wisdom has blessed them with really, really stupid enemies and very compliant future slaves!
Hard to argue with that!
There is zero evidence that Zero isn't one of them.
Uhh....Mexican Muslims? The vast, VAST majority are Catholic. But of course you know That.
Hatred blinds one to reality.
