Mississippi veterans cemetery replaces American flag with gay pride flag
Washington Examiner ^ | 06/07/23 | Briana Oser

The Biloxi National Cemetery in Mississippi, a graveyard for war veterans, has raised a gay pride flag to fly among the American flags at the entrance to the cemetery.

The decision was made possible by Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough’s authorization for all VA facilities to raise the LGBT flag in 2022.

WLOX News, Biloxi’s local news outlet, interviewed a spokesman for the Biloxi VA about the gesture. He stated that the flag is just a “symbol of inclusion” that indicates to veterans, “If you wore the uniform, the VA is here for you.”

Hopefully someone has the stones to tear down and burn every single homosexual pride flag in that cemetery.

They fought to turn the country over to Satanic forces?

Think of the women who won’t stand up to the transgender swimmers.

Meh.

Except the homosexual ones.

I knew a few when in the USAF, they just did their job like anyone else.

I am as sick of this "in your face" stuff, as much as anyone, but this is one of the few places I don't mind it as I knew homosexuals in the service who were otherwise no different from anyone else on the job.

To quietly stick their flag there IMHO is ok, but other flags should be allowed if they aren't already, Star of David, Knights Templar, Confederate, various religious ones, etc.

I know the local congressman Mike Ezell spoke out against the other day calling it a political stunt and for the VA to take it down.

The American soldiers didn’t die for a marxist ideology. They fought for the America and its flag is that representation. As a 22 year military veteran I’m disgusted what the political military officers/bureaucrats are doing to our military. However, I do believe it is a deliberate strategy to purge the military of true patriots and fill it with leftist ideologues who will have no qualms down the road when the marxist does decide to use an iron fist to enforce tyranny.

When those men buried there were in service, would mean any queer in the ranks would have been either beaten half to death, lost at sea or thrown out with a dishonorable discharge.

Now they dishonor the real men with a fag flag.

The loud noise would be a baseball bat going up side the head of the person who ordered it.

Not even a veteran’s cemetery is sacred any more. This is thoroughly disgusting.

this is a flag of repression, hate and bigotry the only flag that should be flown is the flag fought for and some died for any thing else is an affront to the men and women who died for our country. tear the damned thing down and burn it.
