Of Gay Pride Flags and Resumes

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"

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.

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!

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

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 :)
