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 Judges personal bias.

Disgusting. It’s Pat.
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.
Maybe it is the judge who is trying to shame others into being what she is.
“...It felt like they were trying to shame me and bully me into not expressing who I truly am,...”
She couldn’t figure out it made her look partial? Maybe she’s not smart enough to be a judge?
Lesbians do not support “traditional American family values”.
Perhaps she can write her memoirs as a judge with the same name as a Sarcastic Latino Avian Cartoon Character. She can call it:
“Tequila Mockingbird”
Only 17 years since Lawrence v Texas
How does that get to be a judge?
Now that’s a bull dyke. I’m bettin’ she has full sleeve tats on both arms and you know she rides a hog. Wonder who knocked her front teeth out.

Oh, Dear Lord! I feel like throwing up.
It felt like they were trying to shame me and bully me into not expressing who I truly am,

Kim Jung Un and Elton John both fathered a kid? WHO KNEW??
If it's visible to anyone in the courtroom it displays a bias and prejudice on any number of issues.
Everything in the courtroom should be neutral.
An abomination before God.
The only flags that belong in a courtroom are for the nation and the state.
If a military court, then (depending on custom and regulation) the flag of the military branch and perhaps unit.
Oh!!
What kind??????
The only thing she be speediln to is a buffet.
