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.”

Take the fag flag down and raise the confederate flag.
Fudge packers now heros?
That loud noise heard in Biloxi was all those veterans turning over in their graves.
I don’t think they want to expose their rear flanks to the Gaystapo.
Hi WXRGina,
Do you know if the flag is still there? I just realized that although they made an effort to follow the flag code by flying it lower than the American flags, it was in the middle of the display which violates the code.
Thanks for doing the protest.
Love,

Omega, yes, the sodomite “pride” flag is still there. After our protest on Friday, a “vandal” took it down overnight sometime, but the VA replaced it. The people at the protest also noted that it was wrongly displayed in the middle—outside of the fact that displaying it PERIOD is wrong.
We’re planning to protest every Friday morning in June. I wish we all could protest every day, but we work. I don’t know if you do Facebook, but I put some posts, pictures and video up about it. I’m at WXRGina on Facebook.
Yet another middle finger raised at traditional America.
I wonder if any other flags have ever been flown alongside the American flag at this cemetery. IOW whether there’s a precedent for this.
Thanks for the info.
Love,
O2
You betcha! :-)
