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.”

Must be a Union government controlled cemetery. No American government would do that.

At half staff no less, just to reinforce the hurt toward Families of fallen American Veterans.

Those of us who served know the real meaning of PRIDE, and we will not give this wonderful term up!

And that's that!

True but the cemetery and flags are to rightly honor them as soldiers and not to promulgate recognition of deviant behavior. Union government is one big ....fill in the blank. I think I read that even Austin and Milley can’t take this crap anymore.

> And IT is at half staff?

That might be correct. I believe there is a flag rule that requires that when the American Flag is flown with other flags, they must be lower (vertically) than Old Glory. Usually that means "below on the same flagpole". I don't know whether that means "half-mast on a separate pole".

Context matters.

This is part of a world pervert plutocrat attempt to brainwash and intimidate the population into acceptance of perversion.

That is why we must resist it anywhere and everywhere and always—and never give up one inch.

We’ll be doing a peaceful protest tomorrow morning at 9 there, for what it’s worth.

Authoritized or forced?

Looks like I will have to specify burial in the veteran’s cemetery here in Redmond Oregon since the VA has decided to denigrate the oath I swore to uphold.

We are presented with two views of history, that incredibly compete for attention in this country. I hold to the second view. Incredibly the voice of the below linked to person is not obviously dominate.

The Best 30-Minute Explanation of Marxism I Have Ever Heard

https://youtu.be/y6rk1mYiOAw

Karl Marx says, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed. Everything exists within the bounds of infinity. Humanity exists as swarms identified to be irradicated or dominated. There is no perception or acknowledgement of eternity. In this country people are able to use the principles of Social Marxism to support the creation of agendas for White Privilege, Black Lives Matter, and Critical Race Theory along with LGBTQ+.

The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. In this expression, the Creator reaches into our world from eternity to endow individual humans with inestimable value and to caution government to first consider its own fallibility.

Yeah... Because all those veterans were fighting for this tranny horsecrap. Biden and his tranny clown klan are genuinely evil. Just sick, pedo evil bastards.

There is pride in having served under the Stars and Stripes. There is no pride in having one of the mental disorders represented by the gay pride flag. Only delusion.

Unlikely the average dysphoric person would do such a thing. This smells like the deed of a well-equipped Marxist.
