Democrat judge in America's 'Muslim capital' BANS gay pride flags after Islamic outrage

A federal judge has upheld a ban on gay pride flags after a years-long battle by an all-Muslim city council to remove the rainbow because it did not reflect their community's values.

The court found that Hamtramck, an enclave surrounded by Detroit with a significant Muslim immigrant population, did not violate the US Constitution when it banned the flag from public buildings in 2023.

After a pride flag was flown in the city during Pride Month in 2021 and 2022, the city council said it clashed with the beliefs of some residents, so they voted to allow only five flags to be flown on publicly-owned property.

US District Judge David Lawson, who was appointed by Bill Clinton, dismissed a lawsuit that was brought against the city for its flag restrictions, saying the ban was okay because the policy targeted all private flags.

'Hamtramck's refusal to display the Gay Pride flag did not violate the Constitution,' the judge said.

Hamtramck has a population of around 27,000, and more than 40% of its residents are immigrants. A large proportion of them are Muslim with Yemeni or Bangladeshi descent.

The city is right next to Dearborn, a larger enclave city in the Detroit area that the Wall Street Journal once called 'America's Jihad Capital' in a piece that claimed the city's leadership supported Hamas and Hezbollah. The publication was widely criticized for the moniker.

Establishes a precedent. Hmmm.

LOL! Democrats between a rock and a hard place.

The Hamtramck flag ban restricted public property to only display the American flag, Michigan flag, city flag and flags that represent the 'international character' of the city's population.

I'm guessing the "international character" is represented by a Somalian flag or a Palestinian flag or something like that. I'd say that's no better than the rainbow. I'd stick with US, State, and City.

Haha, exactly. Who didn’t see this conflict of worldviews coming a mile away? Oh yeah, I remember, the woke left!

[Jane Long]

Who didn’t see this coming?

[Billthedrill]

Wait until the purple-haired nose-ringed fuglies find out they need to buy burqas because Our Democracy.

[frank ballenger]

Could we charge admission to an all out brawl between Muslim anti-gay, anti-trans people and the LGBTQ+ trans ones?

Hamtramck is located within the city limits of the City of Detroit.

Wear toga, no underwear, extend olive branch, and see what happens after the pride of allegenxxx oath and pride anthem is sung by the LGTBBQ+ choir.

Don’t be surprised by the reaction of the moment... (psssst 47 still luvs you)

The Democrats have painted themselves into a corner

I think 🤔🤔🤔 a cage match may be coming between those groups...

[Flavious_Maximus]

Now let’s see how many trannie (homosexuals) descend on that town to protest. I predict not a single one.

The filthy homo-pedophiles ONLY attack Christians, like the mass killer tranny’s in Minnesota and Tennessee who murdered the children in Catholic schools.

[butlerweave]

When will they start killing muslims ?

[SaveFerris]

In America, the Homosexual Agenda is a HUGE PRIORITY for the Godless Reprobate Democrats - they're all trying to follow Son of Satan Barack Hussein Obama into the Eternal Lake of Fire 🔥🔥🔥

(for the thread 🧵🧵🧵)

It's mind boggling...

Democrats are at

Here's what DEMOCRATS do to innocent children - (center picture)

WHY do DEMOCRATS INSIST on

I have come not to praise the
Democratic Party; but to bury it.

TOO MUCH weird stuff - especially since 2008

[escapefromboston]

Wish we could get rid of gays and muslims

[grey_whiskers]

So does this mean they aren’t going to show up at the next pro Hamas demonstration?

[frank ballenger]

The Pontiac Silverdome, scene of the great Hulk Hogan body slam of Andre the Giant in Wrestlemania III on March 29, 1987, has been torn down.

But other venues could be the scene of the brawl.

The undercard matches could feature Rep. Rashida Tlaib who lives in Dearborn.

And who wouldn’t pay to view JD Pritzker in a leotard getting pounded in the squared circle?

[metmom]

What’s a democrat to do.

I’m guessing gays are going to FINALLY realize that muslims are not their friend. Maybe......
