Democrats have always demonstrated a sense of "ownership" of certain communities of color.
So when the 28,000-strong Muslim-majority city of Hamtramck, Michigan passed an ordinance declining to wave gay pride flags from city buildings, they couldn't believe their eyes.
According to The Guardian:
In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council.
They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic but meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.
This week many of those same residents watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning Pride flags from being flown on city property that had – like many others being flown around the country – been intended to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
Muslim residents packing city hall erupted in cheers after the council’s unanimous vote, and on Hamtramck’s social media pages, the taunting has been relentless: “Fagless City”, read one post, emphasized with emojis of a bicep flexing.
For anyone who knows anything about what Muslims of a certain stripe believe over the past 20 years, or who can pick up a newspaper and read about, say, Iran, the result is about what one can expect.
But this doesn't include leftist Democrats, whose whimpers could be heard for miles around:
“There’s a sense of betrayal,” said the former Hamtramck mayor Karen Majewski, who is Polish American. “We supported you when you were threatened, and now our rights are threatened, and you’re the one doing the threatening.”
Wait till they hear what these same Muslims think about women.

I think the Koran is pretty clear on this. Tossing Gays off 5-story buildings suggests they don’t support LBGTQ+ agenda. Perhaps Dems might do their homework.
Michigan: Democrats stupefied that the Muslim community they hailed rejects display of gay pride flags
***********************************************************
...for a “normy”, the term “Gay Pride” will ALWAYS be an oxymoron...................
You truly have to be SICK to feel pride while engaging in sodomy. No amount of pride parades will change that. Not in a million years.
Wait until they find out Muslims hate dogs.
It is amazing when you think about it, since so many muslim men have no problem with buggering little boys.
My goodness - unreal the level of aloofness to reality - in both directions - in this statement...beyond description.
Friend who served all over the world told me when they are questioned they always identify as Muslim first, not Egyptian, Syrian, etc.

The cultures that use young boys for sex say that’s completely different. They also deny it with a straight face in places like Afghanistsn, where they all do it.
I forget which day, but I was told Wednesday (or Tuesday?) was boy night in Afghanistan.
So do Sodomites. Yes that is a religion. In fact the official religion of the ruling class (and their lackeys). Cuts across traditional denominational lines.

Government will not learn from this.
They’ll just be more convinced that religion must be banned
entirely.
Wrong. I knew a wonderful Muslim family in Los Angeles. Grandfather came to America, opened a corner grocery, grew it into a $600,000,000 shopping mall business. Sons became doctors, lawyers and a movie producer. Daughters had careers too. Not a veil in sight. Family gave quite a lot to charities of all kinds. Did not vote along party lines.
It was not about a ban on pride flags it was about ruling that only the U.S. flag (and the state flag I suppose) were permitted to fly in public buildings. That is how it should be.
Ever wonder why the MSM never shows just what the resolution reads? It would destroy the false claim that the resolution targets only pride flags. Here it is,
“RESOLUTION 2023-82
RESOLUTION TO MAINTAIN AND CONFIRM THE NEUTRALITY OF THE CITY OF HAMTRAMCK TOWARDS ITS RESIDENTS
WHEREAS, the City of Hamtramck is one of the most diverse cities in the United States, in which we should proudly promote and embrace its diversity; and WHEREAS, the City must and will serve and treat its residents equally, with no discrimination, or special treatment to any group of people; and
WHEREAS, the City has authorized in the past, the Human Relations Commission to install nations
flags on the City flagpoles to represent the international character of the City, Resolution 2013-102: and
WHEREAS, each religious, ethnic, racial, political, or sexually oriented group is already represented by the country it belongs to; and
WHEREAS, the City does not want to open the door for radical or racist groups to ask for their flags to be flown; and
WHEREAS, this resolution does not in any way, shape or form infringe upon the fundamental right of an individual or business in the City of Hamtramck to engage free speech. Nor does this resolution limit speech by public employees provided that such employees engage in such speech in a protected time, manner and place.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hamtramck, Wayne County,
Michigan, that the government of the City of Hamtramck does not allow any religious, ethnic, racial, political, or sexual orientation group flags to be flown on the City’s public properties,
and that only, the American flag, the flag of the State of Michigan, the Hamtramck Flag, the Prisoner of War flag and the nations’ flags that represent the international character of our City shall be flown.”
I’m lovin’ it. The one group they don’t dare cancel is pushing back!
In Muslim Country’s, they push Gays off tall buildings.
Rejecting GAY Pride Flags is mild in comparison.
The same with the Dumbs importing millions of Latinoamericanos. Have you heard about how raucous their protests get in South America? If the Dumbs push them far enough, they’ll shut down entire cities.
Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law in Florida allowing capital punishment for child rapists. Some of the groomers went nuts over it.
