A mighty wind is powering this flag of identity, rending asunder all hope of unity, dividing citizen against citizen, making political alliances difficult if not impossible.
We are fast becoming the Disunited Identities of America. American embassies may now fly the gay rainbow flag along with the American flag. What next? A Transgender Flag? A Black Transgender “Sex Worker” Flag? A “Palestinian” Flag? A special flag for American non-binaries and asexuals? How about separate flags for every possible ethnicity that American citizens represent? Better still, a special flag for the illegal/undocumented -- they’re here, too.
I happen to like the rainbow flag very much and for more than one reason. I like what rainbows biblically represent, namely, a forever truce between God and humanity. No matter how vain or venal our behavior may be, God is resigned to accepting the fact that we are all made of “crooked timber” and will sin, again and again, but God will never again unleash a deadly flood to destroy all mankind.
Originally, the gay pride/rainbow flag had at least eight colors. Over time, that number has both increased and decreased. Each group, newly self-identified, proudly, the latest victim on the block, adopts a unique color.
Walt Whitman, that very gay male and so-American poet, proclaimed that he (and we all) “contain multitudes.” Why diminish us, why limit us to only one identity and an identity that only proclaims our sexual proclivities -- and nothing else, nothing more?
I wrote an entire chapter about the dangers of such balkanization and self-minimization for a book of mine. The publisher (who shall remain nameless) censored it. What I was writing was deemed too “politically incorrect.”

These “groups” are only pawns to stir up conflict and destroy western civilization and the free enterprise system so communism can replace it. The only cure is to have an educated society that rejects communism of their own free will.
We celebrate buggery.
This could have been predicted years ago and in fact was by some people. The races and related cultures and not the same and when you try to cram square pegs into round holes this is what you get. Notice how it is only Western culture that must be destroyed.
....many nations around the world do NOT celebrate [sic] homosexuality so why would the United States fly the rainbow flag at its embassies in those countries...?? that would only serve to insult the morals and mores of the host countries.......this administration is so corrupt, so tone-deaf, so arrogant...this sort of thing would have never been allowed had Mr. Trump been re-elected.... shameful.....
Because liberals are hell bent on making political statements???
In this case, the desire to make that political statement about homosexuality overrides all other considerations.
This is troubling, in that, they needlessly antagonize other countries.
It’s hard for American liberals to comprehend, but, homosexuality is not exactly openly accepted and celebrated in many parts of the world.
