Rainbow Flag Will Fly Over Montreal City Hall During Olympics

Are you sure you aren't Russian? You guys appear to have a lot in common.

5th generation American of German descent.

Germans don't like Russians. Why do you think there is a Poland for ?

Probably one of the top American experts on Russia, it's, history, people, customs and culture is Condoleezza Rice. The same Condi that G.W. Bush had to advise him how to deal with Russia. And unlike Obama, Bush was able to deal with Russia and Putin and walked away getting what he wanted and was in awe by Putin.

I've been reading as many of Rices papers on Russia and have been learning a lot.

President Obama has surrounded himself with inexperianced and second rate people in his administration. He doesn't have one expert on Russia in his administration.

Obama appeased Russia in 2009 and lost all respect from Russia. Last August during the Putin-Obama staredown over Syria, Obama blinked.

You can #### with the Russians but don't #### with their culture or customs. Russians love competion and aren't scared to fistacuff.

All Putin wants is respect. All bullies and thugs want respect.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Obama administration is behind the foreign LGBT activist and anti Christian atheist activist agitators who are showing up in Russia and agitating in response to Obama being embarrassed or made looking like a fool by Putin while Obama sees Russian dominance growing from his White House.

But I'll give credit where credit is due. At least Obama didn't boycott the Olympics like that Pantywaist Carter did in 1980.
 
What it comes down to, the gays have found the pickings for partners in the meat market to be too small and want a larger selection of fresh meat.

As one gay friend told me, gays are no diffrent than hetrosexuals, they want a partner who is attractive and gives them a boner. There's just aren't enough good looking gay men to go around.

So indoctrinate them when they are young.

Yeah, I for one don't believe a word of that story.
 

I had a civil conversation with some of them when in Salt Lake City for a Pride Parade. It was interesting.

My conversation wasn't to civil. One of the girls was dragging the American flag on the ground.

This happened some years ago in Pasadena, Ca. They were protesting in front of All Saints Church which is a progressive church that has many gay members.

Nobody desecrates the American flag in my presence and isn't going to be challenged.

You do realize that is exactly what they want. That church exists by getting people pissed off enough that they act without thinking and then the church sues them. That is largely how that church finances itself. They want to make people as angry as possible so they can get as much attention as possible and get violent responses. It sounds like you played into their hands and their confirmation bias.

So what is freedom?

I figured that out as soon as they all produced cameras and started recording us.

But I rescued the flag. When they decided to move on they discovered that all of their vehicles have been disabled.

I wonder if they learned to leave a rear guard with their vehicles yet ?

A Gay Pride Parade in SLC. The last place I would expect such an event. Were they locals or were they bused in ?

What is the official stance on homosexuality within the SLDS ?

Legalising same sex marriage could be a slippery slope. From polygamy to donkey lovers.

That's always been the problem with liberal/progressive change, they never take the time to think of the consequences will be.

Same sex marriage has been legal in Massachusetts for over a decade. So far is has the lowest divorce rate in the country.

Have you actually read the text of the bill SB 1437?

None of the garbage that you mentioned is in there.

Stop being a mindless repeater drone and actually vet the information before you own it yourself.

Then you are a fool.

It is everyone's right to do whatever they want with the flag, no matter what you feel.
 
Would you like to be my personal guest at a VFW post and say that ? I'm buying.

That freedom is exactly what they have fought for.

Intelligent people understand the rights and freedoms that we have here.

Only ignorant folks don't understand.

And, no, you are too disgusting a person to go anywhere with.

So noted.
 
Like rewarding illegal aliens with amnesty and citizenship for not following the rule of law ?

I seem to remember Barack Obama back in 2008 and 2009 publicly coming out opposing same sex marriage.

I don't recall anyone coming out calling Obama a bigot.

Maybe Obama is just a hypocrite or doesn't have a pair ?

Well since this thread wasnt about Obama and I really dont care as I am not American what does what have to do with anything?
However if it makes you feel better yes Obama is a hypocrite just like every other politician in the world.

There's a good possibility that it is about Obama. That Obama is using the LGBT activist to embarrass Putin after Putin embarrassed Obama and his failed foreign policies in the Middle East, in particular over Syria.

If you read the Russian newspapers before Russia passed a law that advocating homosexuality in front of children would become illegal, the papers mention that American activist were showing up in Russia agitating. Just not LGBT activist but anti Christian athiest.

The OP isn't about Russia's laws against homosexuality because Russia has no laws making homosexuality illegal. It's about Russia's law that you can not advocate buggery in front of children.

And there was one individual on this thread who was labeling anyone who opposed advocating buggery in front of children as being bigots.

It would take an extreme partisan to take a thread about Montreal's reaction to Russia's Anti-Gay laws and the Olympics and twist it into something about politics in the USA.
 
The cities of St. John's, Quebec City, and Montreal will fly the rainbow LGBT flag to protest the treatment of gays in Russia for the duration of the Olympics in Sochi.



This article can be found at the Montreal Gazette.

I hope more cities will choose to protest the anti-gay laws in Russia by doing this. Hopefully we can get more Canadian cities to do it as well as some American cities. Do you think that your/nearest city would raise the LGBT flag?

And yet some people don't believe governments pander to gays (or sexual preference)?

This is not an issue governments should be dealing with, North America is going to **** and these clowns are embracing sexuality????

It really goes to show how ****ing dumb some politicians actually are and what their priorities and agendas are.

I'm also sure there are plenty of gay people that find flying that flag is in bad taste - considering it has no meaning other than "we support gays" which IMO, is pretty biased as well considering that flag excludes a lot of people and doesn't speak for a nation - just a bunch of delusional politicians that make a living sparking controversy and focusing on social issues rather than real issues such as economy.

In short I find flying the flag ignorant - it's just as bad as some schools in California flying the Mexican flag above the United States flag.
