Texas judge says she was forced to remove pride flag from courtroom
NBC ^ | 04 21 2020 | Elizabeth Kuhr

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.”

I bet you if a good Christian judge would have displayed crosses, crucifixes and other Jesus related icons in a courtroom, the homonazi’s would have screamed in protest to have them removed.

It’s not about you judge. Do your preening on your own time

But on the other hand, wouldn’t it be good to have this fool’s biases easily seen in her courtroom? It would make any decisions from her a lot easier to overturn...

The b!tch is SUPPOSED to be a non-partisan arbiter of what the law says. She is NOT there to advertise her perversions, or how much she likes fish.

“It felt like they were trying to shame me and bully me into not expressing who I truly am!”

And what does that in any way shape of form have to do with being a judge? She should bethrown off the bench. If a christian being persecuted by gays case brought to her, gee wonder who she’ll favor?

Exactly. The whole idea is that the judge is neutral, not the exemplar of some faction. This gal says, “It felt like they were trying to shame me and bully me into not expressing who I truly am.” What if a Catholic judge wanted to express who he truly is by putting up a crucifix and the Vatican flag in his courtroom? Would this dyke think that was just hunky-dory?

“It felt like they were trying to shame me and bully me into not expressing who I truly am,”

In that courtroom she's a judge and that's all anyone else needs to know, she sounds like a sick puppy.

I wonder how many times she’s ever ruled in favor of a man over a woman?

Is Zero too high a guess?

She was expressing who she is -- a lawless, racist, degenerate bigot.

My guess is she replaced the American Flag with the Mexican flag and the “pride” flag.

A series of Red Lights are brightly blinking on and off.
Where does one start?...
