Margaret, go back to Ann Arbor(I'll bet money you ain't from around here). We don't need this stuff here. Either Jesse or the gay agendas. Luckily most around here have good BS detectors.

BTW - Go Bulldogs(Howell's rival). :)

When a movement has its own flag, it is a seperatist movement.

The Cusco region in Peru?

What I find most disgusting is that they (the homosexual community) have taken the rainbow (a symbol from God) and used it for a flag that represents the glorification of a disgusting lifestyle. Parents really need to wake up and tell their children that we should love all people, BUT we should call sin what it is.

Back in the "innocent" 1990s, a co-worker went to buy a flag for his backyard. He purchased a confederate flag while his wife selected a pretty rainbow colored flag. The clerk at the checkout was baffled.

"It represents diversity as a whole,"

...and the Swastika represents love and charity. I guess we can a thing to be anything we want today.

[misharu]

Perhaps someone should sneak onto the school grounds and night run up a Confederate Flag right underneath the Rainbow one. You think THAT will get anyone's attention?

[TenaciousZ]

"It's not a gay pride flag, like most people think

"It represents diversity as a whole

These people are lying. Period.

This is the first news of this sort I've heard in Howell. I thought my kids were safe out here. Looks like I need to look into St. Joe's school.

[frog_jerk_2004]

Where is this "flag" flying. Hopefully not anywhere near Old Glory!

"Some kids in the school don't accept homosexuality and the flag is an affront to their religious beliefs," said senior Laura Steinberger, the school's student liaison to the Board of Education. Steinberger brought the controversy to the board's attention at a recent meeting.

"It represents diversity as a whole," said junior R.J. Cuthbertson, also 16 and a member of the club. "We put it up to show that everyone is safe here and this is an accepting community."

As a Christian who has every right to think homosexual activity morally wrong, I certainly would not feel "safe" or "accepted" in any school that promoted the gay activist agenda through flying one of their flags.

[DoughtyOne]

I'm not sure this flag can be redefined as just a flag of diversity. Those who fly it in the real world see it as a their banner, not everyone's banner. That's not diverse. It's exclusive.

[frog_jerk_2004]

I think that squares with our vision for the school. We want our students to be tolerant of others, no matter how they dress, look, learn or worship.

Hang the flag of the Holy See and let's see how accepting they are...

[rellimpank]

--disgusting enough that two perfectly good words: "gay" and "queen" have been lost to normal usage-now the rainbow too?

[Ramonan]

"It's not a gay pride flag, like most people think, said junior Krista Tarrant, 16, a member of the club.
Idiot!

There are sections of cities here in California, where all the businesses have their little Rainbow Flag
(Gay Pride=translation: Radical Gay Agenda)
at the door or Gays will not patronize the business.

Reminds me of the stores and shops in South Central LA, where the owner tried to save the business by painting a large" Black Owned" across the front during the Rodney King Riot.

"Luvvy, we're pulling our funding!"

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

...the school's 20-member Diversity Club,...

Lets see Christians try to get into the club and influence it. They will quickly say "Go To H*ll" to diversity... Only people who endorse the liberal extremist agenda are welcome.

Maybe they can get a flag put up also. In the name of accepting all types of diverse lifestyles, of course.

[Teacher317]

Wonder how they'd react to a Confederate flag?

And how would the liberals expain the difference? ("One's good, 'cuz we like it, and the other is bad, 'cuz we don't like it!")

If offensive flags are being removed in the South, then they must be in Michigan as well.

[freebilly]

Hey, I'm all for Rainbow Flags..., as long as Noah's Ark is beneath the rainbow....

[Tax Government]

The rainbow as a symbol isn't owned by the diversiholics, in spite of what we may read or be told.

"It's not a gay pride flag, like most people think, said junior Krista Tarrant, 16, a member of the club.

BS pure and simple. I have never seen a person with a rainbow flag that was not gay. Also as A Christian it angers me very much that these people are using Gods symbol to never destroy the world by flood again as their flag.
