Of Gay Pride Flags and Resumes (Its No Longer Who and What You Are, Rather Your Sexual Preference Politics)

Sexual preference and its practice as redefined and as a Political Wedge Issue

The War to some is over and to a neighbor in a local Home Owners Association, still with US flags a flying, a new flag adorns another porch(based on a true situation). Another war rages on.

Even the so called Gettsyburg Flag Co. is in the business:

And again and to some, sexuality and the politics of sexuality has invaded Education (what passes for a Liberal Arts Education, or “Humanistic Education curriculum design”) . Kindly note the color scheme of an online educators resume:

it took me years to realize that damn near anything (business storefronts, clothing, bumperstickers, etc...) with a rainbow motif meant "gay"

[CrystalClear]

HMMMM can't fly a rebel flag...might offend people...

[King Prout]

saw something funny a few days ago - a fella I know works over to the local Hospital, getting out of his big ol' pickup truck with a fishing rod and tacklebox, beer in hand, wearing a confederate grey t-shirt with a big ol' confederate battleflag covering the front, waved at me, I waved back and drove on... he's black.

I still don't know what the = stickers mean. Anyone know?

Reminds me of a great Dave Chappelle skit where a blind Klansman is really black.

That's the logo for the HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN, another gay, lesbo, transgender org; I always wondered myself and came across it on-line.

Bye the way, for all: The "rainbow" has been co-opted by the gays, lesbos, etc: Read Genesis 9:12-17!

...Ecuador - Indigenous Flags (Inca).

My dad had a friend who thought until recently that having a (Jesus)fish on the back of your car meant you were "Gay."

[Clemenza]

Reminds me of a great Dave Chappelle skit where a blind Klansman is really black.

One of the FUNNIEST things I have seen on TV in my life. The best is when, after he finds out he's black, he divorces his wife for being a "ni--er lover."

The progressive academic climate at UMass has supported me in pursuing my interests in LGBT issues in education and athletics.

I'm sure the conservative taxpayers in MA appreciate this :)
