It’s GLBT History Month in America, and St. Cloud State University decided to fly a rainbow flag to honor that. Someone thought it was a very, very bad thing and stole it. The AP says it may have been members of a SCSU Facebook group called “Remove the GLBT Flag,” but they don’t have any proof. I looked, the group doesn’t exist anymore.
Meanwhile, readers of the St. Cloud Times reveal why we really do need to be frightened of a Michele Bachmann win in the 6th Congressional District. Here are a few choice examples of “Minnesota Nice” from the comments on this story:
“Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual-Transgendered-and-Allies History and Awareness Month”. I hope this includes the teachings of Leviticus and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. I am guessing probably not.
*** and why do they feel a need to constantly cram this down my throat? I do not go out of may way to infrom them of my bedroom activity…this is ridiculous!
*** it is not about being close-minded. Be as gay as you want to be, just SHUT UP about it. Who cares whose gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or an ally of any or all. Do hetrosexuals(sp?) have a flag that states there sexual preference? NO!!! The only flags that should be flown at a STATE university are the U.S. Flag, the STATE flag and the SCHOOL flag(if they have one).
*** [And here’s my favorite..these calculations show some true insight into the minds of these folks…] Which Group is the Minority — GLBTQQA or WMHCC? GLBTQQA calculations: presume ten percent of the population is either Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, or Allied individuals.
WMHCC calculations based on the following presumptions:
70% white 50% male 90% heterosexual 30% conservative 50% active Christian
.7 x .5 x .9 x .3 x .5 = .04725
So less than five percent of the population are white, male, heterosexual, conservative, Christians.
It seems as if the WMHCC is more of a minority group than the GLBTQQA. When is SCSU going to fund WMHCC and will they hoist a WMHCC flag soon?
[by that logic. 50% vote for Bachmann, 50% are Christian, 50% are conservative, 75% are white, only 9.4% are white christian conservative Bachmann voters. It’s a dream world when we use bigot logic.]
