Australia: Homosexual flag on city hall



We read:
"Australia's national flag on the St Kilda town hall has been replaced with gay colours, infuriating council workers who say they are not all gay. Angry Port Phillip council workers say the multi-coloured gay flag replaced Australia's official flag on Australia Day, leaving the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags flying. One worker, who fears retribution if he is named, says staff at the council are "insulted'' because it infers everyone who works there is gay. "It's not right that they replace the Australian flag," he said today. "Why not take down one of the others?''

The rainbow flag was flying high above the St Kilda Rd council building when the Sunday Herald Sun visited. Port Phillip council mayor Frank O'Connor said they were following protocol and flying the flag in preparation for tomorrow's Gay Pride March. He denied the Australian flag was replaced on Australia Day.

He said most of the staff supported the rainbow flag replacing the Australian flag this week. "The staff at the City of Port Phillip are strongly supportive. the city supports diversity,'' Cr O'Connor said. [Well, if diversity is the aim, why not a Swastika flag? That would be even more diverse. There are probably at least as many people with racist sympathies as there are homosexuals. Or am I missing something?]

The Left has a habit of excluding people when trying to be inclusive.

What makes them think that Nazi's are worse than radical gays? They both use the same tactics to force people to comply.

There's a good lesson to be learned here for those weak-minded fools who think that gays merely want to be accepted. What they want in fact, is for normal people to be "forced" to accept every facet of their lifestyle, with special protections and privileges not afforded to the rest of society. Even a bleeding heart idiot should understand that's not equality.

Ok - I understood from the posting that this was a Council decision, not one imposed by homosexuals or whatever gay lobby group may have been involved.
That in itself is a problem. Any organisation prepared to substitute the flag of a vocal minority lobby group for the national emblem is foolish to say the least. If you must, fly it with the national flag, not instead of.
So, which vocal lobby group is next... Is it national egg week next? I'd like to see that flag flying over St Kilda

Any nation or people who can not stand up for their flag, the national symbol of who they are, don't deserve to have one!
