Members of a regional women’s country line dance team were reportedly kicked out of a Seattle dance convention after organizers claimed their American flag-themed shirts made some attendees feel "triggered and unsafe."
Over the weekend at the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle, the Borderline Dance team was set to perform, but were essentially told they weren't welcome by organizer Rain Country Dance Association, an LGBTQ+ dance community, over their matching American flag themed shirts, Jason Rantz reported for 770 KTTH.
"Unfortunately, what our team was met with upon arrival was that our flag tops were offensive to some of the convention goers," the dance group posted to Facebook. "There was a small group that felt ‘triggered and unsafe.'"
Co-captain Lindsay Stamp spoke with Rantz for The Jason Rantz Show, explaining that their costumes sparked a "small percentage" of complainants who brought up Israel’s war against Hamas and transgender issues.
"At first we were told we would just be boo’d, yelled at and likely many of them would walk out," the group's Facebook post explained. "This did not deter us. But then we were given an ultimatum. Remove the flag tops and perform in either street clothes (which most didn’t bring as they traveled there in their uniforms) or they would supply us with ECH shirts from years past… Or, don’t perform at all, which effectively was asking us to leave."

“Unsafe,” like “outrage” is a word that has lost its meaning. However just once I’d like to hear a lib idiot asked to explain what danger he thinks he or she is facing, so that they’re “unsafe.”
Pussies
Doesn’t affect us. We got other fish to fry-winnable races for starters.
They showed up at the brainless Zombie dance
Brain washed traitors and a clear and present danger.
Imagine how many people will be “triggered” if Trump is reelected. Will be interesting.
I’m all in favor of people leaving to find a country whose flag they feel ‘safe’ with.
Poor babies. Send them to the Russian front.
Or N. Korea.

President Trump should start something like the Peace Corps for people stuck in the US who hate the US.
The “Idiot Corps” could help people revoke US citizenship and resettle them in a socialist paradise.

“I’m all in favor of people leaving to find a country whose flag they feel ‘safe’ with.”
Spot on
Tell them to go be trans in Palestine. (Or China, or Russia). See how that works out for them...
Start keeping lists.
So, if the American flag is now offensive, can we break out Confederate flag?

Try to imagine this happening in some other country, like Mexico, say. Yeah, I’m having trouble with that, too.
Yes. About 20 years ago I reupholstered the interior of my ragtop sports car with a USA flag theme (not the seats but the surroundings). Never heard any complaints or triggering while driving in SF or elsewhere. Got compliments though. We’re in America, be proud.
I don’t feel “unsafe” now that we’ve got concealed carry but I am offended and “triggered” when I see freeloading, deadbeat foreigners out there spending U.S. taxpayer dollar when the first act they did when they came to America was say FU to American laws.
Sue the Rain Country Dance Association for all costs incurred plus a little more, just for justice.
