The all-Muslim Hamtramck City Council on Tuesday banned LGBTQ Pride flags from being flown on all city properties, drawing criticism that the diverse city chose bigotry over inclusivity.
The so-called "neutrality flag resolution" also prohibits the display of religious, ethnic, racial, and political flags and states that the city won’t provide “special treatment to any group.”
The unanimous vote followed more than three hours of public comments and months of impassioned debate.
Dozens of supporters and opponents crowded into the council chambers and hallway at City Hall to speak out.
“I am a Lebanese person, and I support the American flag,” Hassan Aoun, an activist based in Dearborn, said. “We are not going to sit here and tolerate you guys coming in here and saying, ‘Oh, it’s Pride Month.’ If you’re gay, no problem. Be gay by yourself. Don’t sit here and throw it down my throat or anyone’s throat.”

White Muslim supremacy?
“If you’re gay, no problem. Be gay by yourself. Don’t sit here and throw it down my throat or anyone’s throat”
A quote for the ages. I think I like these guys.
When the gays and the muslims go to war, someone is going to lose their head?
I’m willing to bet that the inevitable, porcine, rainbow haired trantifa crowd will not show up to protest.
Maybe this was the grand plan all along. Turn the US into a cultural and social sewer so that the muslims can ‘save’ us.
This non-sequitur statement shows the left is truly baffled by what's going on.
Who woulda thunk that common sense would come from Dearbornistan?
I wouldn't. They worship a pedophile "god" that bedded a 9-year-old girl, and they think that's perfectly fine.
I’m not a big fan, but when one group of my enemies is fighting another group of my enemies, I am happy to sit back and eat popcorn.
“I think I like these guys’’.
Yeah well the trouble starts when they start chopping heads off and flying planes into buildings.
Yep. It does show how far gone we are, though.
Where are the Antifa protests?
Sadly, Muslims are more moral than Christians...as a general rule. We need to do better for God!
Hamtramck used to be the Polish community in Detroit. Now, like neighboring Dearbornistan, Hamtramck has become Muslim.
“I am a Lebanese person, and I support the American flag,” Hassan Aoun, an activist based in Dearborn, said.
“We are not going to sit here and tolerate you guys coming in here and saying, ‘Oh, it’s Pride Month.’ If you’re gay, no problem. Be gay by yourself. Don’t sit here and throw it down my throat or anyone’s throat.”
This is fantastically rich.
From “Welcome Refugees” banners to “You’re all bigots.”
I’m loving THIS.
It’s the rank and file stupid leftists and their supporters that have no idea how complicated and nuanced meddling in geopolitics turns about-face so quickly. (GOP RINOs are included in this.)
“...drawing criticism that the diverse city chose bigotry over inclusivity.”
Editorialize much?
Correct. "Muslim" is also a protected leftist political narrative/demographic. So they have power. Its been that way for at least two decades. Even an Orwellian, immediate change in narrative from ally to enemy would take years to affect.
