Why a rainbow? Some suggest overtones of the original "gay icon" Judy Garland and her signature song "Over the Rainbow." Others think it more likely that the then-popular rainbow "Flag of the Races" inspired the adoption of a multi-colored symbol, as the "gay rights" movement had directly borrowed much from its civil-rights counterpart.

With Milk's encouragement, it seems that artist Gilbert Baker then set out to create a flag that was destined to fly for the first time at San Francisco's "Gay Freedom Day Parade" on June 25, 1978, which was just months before Harvey Milk himself was killed, forever weaving together the martyr figure and the rainbow flag as core elements of the "gay pride" narrative. So at the very root of this diabolical symbol is its inspiration taken from Milk, an icon of the "LGBT community" who was, himself, while in his 30s, a perpetrator of same-sex sexual abuse of an underaged 16-year-old boy.

Paul Kalchik just did? Your cardinal-archbishop, Blase Cupich, will try to burn you.Ĭoverage of Kalchik's brave act and Cupich's vindictive response is elsewhere - but let's look at the rainbow flag itself and the diabolical and mocking message that its inclusion on a banner also featuring the very cross of Jesus Christ Himself is really communicating.ĭid you know the rainbow flag was first adopted as a symbol for "gay pride" by way of a San Francisco artist named Gilbert Baker, who crafted the symbol at the behest of gay icon Harvey Milk, who himself, notoriously, is said to have had a 16-year-old boy as his live-in lover in the 1960s?įree clip from CHURCH MILITANT Premium WATCH MORE LIKE THIS

flag is still protected under the First Amendment as "symbolic speech." But try burning the notorious rainbow flag of the so-called "LGBTQIA community," as Chicago priest Fr. As for me, I’m a gay man, who will pray for them, and hope they are redeemable before they harm someone.You are not signed in as a Premium user we rely on Premium users to support our news reporting. I believe it is a mixture especially when these actions occur within a strict, rigid, and religious environment such as the Mormon code. The lines are beginning to get blurred as to what is a hate crime, and what is just students trying to get attention. It’s one thing to teach that homosexuality is wrong according to their belief however, it’s something else when the result is students burning a rainbow flag and chanting hate speech to intimidate others. Maybe instead of suspending the students, you could bring their parents and elders into court and fine them for influencing young minds in a deviant manner. I think it’s unlikely to happen as money or love of money rules the world. Putting aside they are football players and make the schools they represent good money, there must be a deterrent to this bad behavior.
I feel for those, who feel frightened to come out however, chanting “All gays die” only leads to the social harm they are inflicting on those, who need or want to come out. Unfortunately, I think a lot of Mormons stay closeted because of the repercussions and ostracizing of gay Mormons from their families is a painful outcome if anyone comes out of the proverbial closet. All I can say is “Wow.” You’re telling me this goes on in Utah, the Mormon capital of the world? I guess this would be the likely outcome.
