A lesbian elected official in North Dakota delivered an impassioned speech in defense of her municipality's decision to fly a rainbow flag outside City Hall. Her heated remarks followed several bigoted comments from townspeople angered over the LGBTQ pride symbol's public display.
"I am proudly the first openly elected lesbian in North Dakota, so that is why I'm not paying any heed to your crap," Evans said Sept. 8 at a City Council meeting in Minot, which went viral after it was posted online. "I live in Minot. I am a taxpayer. I am a person. I get to see myself represented on that flagpole.
"This city is big enough for all of us. Me having a flag flying doesn't take away anything from your rights and freedoms," Evans continued. "I'm sorry it doesn't make you feel comfortable, but we're here, we're queer, and we're not going away."(snip)
A video of the full council meeting that was shared on the city's YouTube page shows several residents making homophobic and bigoted remarks.
One man claimed that the "LGBT flag represents the genitals of certain Americans," while another said he'd be "embarrassed" to explain the flag's meaning to children. Another resident said flying the flag could lead to pedophiles' being "glorified," while a woman said it's the kind of thing that leads to "looting, riots and destruction." Another woman said it was "a dishonest move" for Evans, who was elected this year, not to have explicitly made it known that she was a lesbian during her campaign.

I guess it would not take much work to obtain her phone number, call, and suggest she at least keep the lesbian agenda under the radar.
Sadly, that is exactly true. Most people around here are focused on their work, children and families. They don’t pay enough attention to local politics. For example, considering our climate, for the last several years Minot council people have spent a huge amount of time, money and resources to develop “green spaces”. The kind they believe “woke” cities have. They completely ignore several things. The city already has many under-used parks and green spaces. It doesn’t make much sense to pour money and resources into downtown “green spaces” for slam-poetry and Tai Chai when the weather precludes those outdoor activities for almost six months out of the year.
Comes out of what?
“No one cares that you are a lesbian”
I do. Same-sex attraction disorder is a mental illness. People who suffer from mental illnesses should not be making decisions for the rest of us.
Even Richard Grenell?
She looks it.
Yes.
Homosexual acts are sins; no question about that. It is sinful, but no more sinful than many other sins.
A person can engage in homosexual acts and still be a good public servant. Prime example is Ric Grenell.
I hope he is the next FBI director when Wray gets fired after the election.
She represents that part of the genome we share with the potato.
“It is sinful, but no more sinful than many other sins.”
Holy Scripture says that you are mistaken about that.
“A person can engage in homosexual acts and still be a good public servant.”
Perhaps, but that cannot be relied upon. A mental illness cannot be compartmentalized; it will slop over into other areas sooner or later. I remember when David Brock was thought to be a reliable conservative, and look at him today.
“I hope he is the next FBI director when Wray gets fired after the election.”
Just that desire is a worse sin than murder.
“I get to see myself represented on that flagpole.”
Like everyone else in your community, you’re already represented by the North Dakota and American flags on a flagpole. But of course, you’re a Leftist so you have to push for division and identity politics.
Sexual perversion is much more sinful than other sins; that’s why The Torah decrees the death penalty for it. The Bible and it’s Law is, in fact, an existential threat to the LGBT.... agenda. Sexual perversion always leads to loneliness, suffering, and eventually, Death.
Very true, Torahman, thank you.
A murderer kills the body; perversion kills the soul.
“I’m special dammit”.
Gee we are all so concerned there.
Please tell me why who you want to sleep with is such a huge part (indeed the ONLY thing you talk about) of your self identity?
They should shout Trump, Trump, Trump and watch her head explode!
she can fly the flag at her own home. City hall is not her home.
Americans have equal Rights, not Special Rights.
I think Ric Grenell would straighten out the FBI in no time. He ready has a feel for who can be trusted.
J.D. Hayworth was a very conservative Representative. Turns out he was guy, but he was as pro-traditional family as anyone in Congress. I think some homosexuals can know their lifestyle is sinful and promote traditional family values.
