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.

As should Christians.
Thanks for posting the city’s resolution. It is sensible.
This brouhaha concocted by the MSM reminds me a lot of what they did over the falsely labeled “don’t say ‘gay’” law in Florida.
Is that picture supposed to say something??
lol....
Yes, it’s the amount salt being mined out this Muslim vs. LGBTQ situation.
Look! It’s up, Uranus!
The part of the Rats just needs to double their assimilation efforts of their subjects.
