Does this mean the Confederate flag can be flown as well?

Image-Google her name.

Looks like "America's Favorite Power Dyke."

This judge is probably looking down the road for when his little friends in the Ku Klux Klan want to fly their flags.

He can't fool us.

[Always Right]

Oh the insanity. Can we just nuke the whole court system and start over?

[glorgau]

They'd figure some way around this ruling if some group wanted to fly a Nazi swastica or confederate flag. Just my opinion of course.

[Calpernia]

Hmmmm, maybe you shouldn't look at this one....

[in hoc signo vinces]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa...you just can't make that stuff up....

[Red Badger]

If the KKK wanted to fly their banners, would they be allowed?.......

[jsbankston]

Boycott the The Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine!

[Irontank]

By denying this application, these city administrators are denying my clients their constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of speech and equal access under the law. That violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments.

The First Amendment requires a federal judge to order a city to fly a gay pride flag? I wonder if James Madison is looking down on what is being done to the Constitution he played such a large role in drafting, advocating and explaining...and if so, what could he be thinking?

Time for "Gun Owners Pride" week.

[andyk]

ordering the city of St. Augustine, Fla., to fly 49 "gay-pride" flags on its Bridge of Lions.

=

"Permitting a group to fly their flag from the Bridge of Lions "

[NCC-1701]

"...Judge orders city: Fly the 'gay' flag..." Judge orders city: Fly the 'gay' fag flag. They call themselves that so my First amendment rights allows me to use that.

[Froufrou]

What a load! Hippies out, gays in, flying the freak flag high! Get a life, ladies!

What you should be hanging out there are your vagina monologue flags, yeah, that's the ticket! Everyone would know what that's about. The rainbow thing is iffy, ya know.

[SlowBoat407]

Oh! I thought it was hysterical significance!

[tractorman]

Bag the fag flags.

[Sir Gawain]

This somehow falls under the Commerce Clause.

[MplsSteve]

I wonder how to interpret this ruling...

Part of me thinks the judge is gay-sympathetic and would never allow a Confederate flag to be flown

OR

the judge is ordering St Augustine to fly the flag because he feels every group should be allowed to.

[HEY4QDEMS]

[FreeKeys]

She pointed out that the group was allowed last year to carry the flags across the bridge, and allowing the banners might prompt others ... to request to fly flags.

Right. How 'bout an FR flag? Where's our Betsy Ross?

(At first I thought your handle was pronounced in such a way as to imply lesbian advocacy. My apolgies.)
