Biden hangs "Pride" flag from White House. Treasonous act?

Poll - Total Votes: 67
Yes, treasonous act. The only flag hanging at the Whit House should be the American flag.
No, not treasonous because it shows acceptance of LGBTQ+ people in America.

The White House should not be used to display the flags of any particular group. It is the American house and should only have one flag. The American flag.
@Muthafukajones So you're saying Biden should take down that POW MIA flag that's atop the White House just beneath the Stars & Stripes?

@ElwoodBlues No, the POW/MIA flag is representative of the service people who stood for the country. It deserves a place with the American flag. The rainbow flag represents nothing that has to do with our country, America, but rather stands for the small group of mentally ill people within our country.
@IM5688
The rainbow flag represents nothing that has to do with our country,
That's your opinion. I happen to think you're dead wrong - both psychologically and regarding service to our nation - but you're welcome to your opinion. My main point is that it's beyond silly to claim that disagreeing with an opinion about a flag is tantamount to treason.

@ElwoodBlues the first amendment prohibits establishment or promotion of religion by the federal government. By extension it was likely the intent that no special group of any kind was to be openly favoured by the federal government.
@Muthafukajones So you're inventing a new Constitutional rule here, You're saying the government shouldn't show any favoritism to POWS & MIAs either. By extending the establishment clause way way beyond religion, you're saying the government can't celebrate anyone.

And you believe Trump is correct to not fly the POW MIA flag.

Trump: "I like people who weren't captured"

@ElwoodBlues Since the founding fathers are not here we must interpret their intentions based on what was written. The establishment clause clearly established that there would be no support nor suppression of free speech or religion. Supporting special interest groups is support for their expression.

@BittersweetPotato Yamgaga!!!!!

And they wrote NOTHING about any flags. Religions identify themselves by filing for special religious tax exempt status. No rainbow flag organization has done that.

When the President decides to fly a flag, that's a speech act, protected by the First Amendment. There have been numerous court decisions regarding the treatment of flags as speech acts. You can try all you like to redefine it as a religious act, but you'll be laughed out of court!!

@Muthafukajones Every group is not a religion.
