A Texas judge said she was forced to remove a rainbow pride flag displayed in her courtroom after a local defense attorney filed a complaint with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez, an out lesbian, said the agency, which investigates allegations of judicial misconduct, mandated that she also remove a pen, eyeglasses and a mouse pad with rainbow patterns, along with a sarape, a colorful traditional Mexican cloth.
“It felt like they were trying to shame me and bully me into not expressing who I truly am,” Gonzalez, who presides over Bexar County Court 13 in San Antonio, said. “It felt like a kick in the gut.”
The State Commission on Judicial Conduct told NBC News it could neither confirm nor deny anything related to the issue, citing “strict confidentiality rules.”
Flavio Hernandez, who confirmed he filed the complaints against Gonzalez with both the Bexar County Court and the state commission in August, said he was “grieved” when “confronted by a rainbow flag prominently displayed” in her courtroom and could not “in good conscience” submit himself or his clients “to the implied authority of this unofficial flag symbolizing the Judge’s personal bias.”

What I’ve never understood is WHY the so-called LGBTQ & possibly the XYZ “community” insists to telling everyone about their sexual preferences.
I do NOT know even ONE heterosexual who “parades” the fact that they are a heterosexual and/or what they like in their bedroom.
PASSING STRANGE, imVho.

I think we should call it the Noah Flag and clearly start reciting Leviticus and other verses where it touches on homosexuality and perversions.
The rainbow ain’t queer.
I agree. But this is what we have sunken to and it will only get worse from there. It is hard to see how it can, but they will find a way.
Judge, do you expect a certain level of obedience in your courtroom? Then quit your personal pearl clutching.
If you define yourself by your sexual proclivities then you have no business on the bench!
Idiots
Poor baby.
I totally agree 100%.
Her mental illness definitely affects her judgement.
Yup.
It is for certain and for sure a straight man has no chance in that court, especially if the other party is a lezbo.
” or black slavery (confederacy) “
What about the slaves that were held in the North?
Ugly as Original Sin!!
“That’s a man, baby!”
If you were shot by a homo and your attacker went before this judge, you would be charged with theft of the bullet and go to jail.
I was just going to ask if she was related to Speedy Gonzalez.
No, she didn’t remove the American flag. As stated in the story, she points out that the American flag is *required* to be displayed.
To me, this statement sounded rather peevish, as if she *would* prefer to remove it if allowed to do so.
She also complained about other judges, one who displays an Irish flag, and another who wears camo printed robes, to justify her claims of bias.
GUILTY!
:^D
It’s not a “pride” flag, it’s a flag of a hostile country.
I would defer to the states, where it was property decided before the horribly flawed Lawrence decision.
