Ban the LGBT Rainbow Flag

[protectionist]

When asked what does a flag showing a rainbow represent, most people would say LGBT. In past years however, during and after World War 1, World War 2, the Global War on Terrorism (Iraq), and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, some Americans knew the rainbow flag as representing the US Army 42nd Infantry Division (which I served in myself from 1964-1969,
as a Combat Construction Specialist MOS 12B20.)

With thousands of soldiers having done military service wearing the rainbow patch on their uniforms, thousands having died in the process, and all having marched under the 42 Infantry's rainbow flag, it is quite an insult to see this prestigious emblem being displayed to represent sex perversion and mental illness. That activity should be outlawed, stopped, and the rainbow emblem be restored to its original, proper symbol of Army service/sacrifice/courage.

Thank you for the information. As often happens if one wants to get generally informed about things one has to come to the "controversial" forum. The overseers of this web site are so biased that if they don't like a person or a post they shuttle it off to one of the lesser used areas.

That's evidently not good enough for the mods here. They seem to be taken over by the power to control the members here however it suits them at the time. Personally I prefer to be able to choose who I communicate with and about what. If I find something offensive I simply move on. I don't need so much selectiveness.

The idea of a rainbow flag representing pride, is 100% accurate, when representing the US Army 42nd Infantry (Rainbow) division.

When representing LGBT, it is 100% false, inaccurate, nonsense.What is here ro be proud of with LGBT ?
Answer: Nothing.

The adoption of the word "PRIDE" by LGBTs, in parades, flags, hats, or whatever, is really SHAME, and the "PRIDE" notion used to cover that up, is just to deflect from it.

The worst thing that can be done to an LGBT person, is to tell him/her that he/she is normal.

Some people are now saying that a rainbow (according to physics) has 7 colors. That's nice as pertaining to rainbows in the sky.

The 42nd Infantry's rainbow emblem (and patch) has 3 colors (red, yellow, & blue) + a dark green border (as seen in the OP, and Post # 3 & 5.

Liberals are not responding here. They know when to stay away.

People have a 1st Amendment right to use the flag as they see fit. Some use it in representing their pride in overcoming homophobia to become mature and healthy people.
