PO1 William "Chip" Nagel at some point people need to ask themselves how does that tiny flag affect them personally? I guarantee 10, 20 years ago, there were members of the LGBTQ+ community working side by side with you but didn’t advertise it. With all the attention this is getting I have to look overseas and see what military ops they are diverting attention from. It’s become Hate not early propaganda and has crossed the line. Especially to those of you who believe all life matters.

I believe all lives matter. That being said, if you can burn the US Flag and be protected by a Supreme Court ruling that stated burning the US Flag amounts to "freedom of speech" (Texas vs Johnson, Jun '89), why can't the LBGTQ various flags get burned without it becoming a "hate crime? Just asking.......

..."Hamilton also said the Los Angeles Police Department has reached out to groups who are attending the planned protest and informed them that while people have a right to express their opinion peacefully, police are "not going to allow the school to be interrupted."
Lira said it is the first time Pride Month will be celebrated inside the school and the assembly will help students understand LGBTQ identities within their community. Lira also noted that there are LGBTQ parents and teachers in the school community.
"This celebration, Pride Month means love. To be united, to be together. It's to show them that we are a family. We're gonna celebrate Pride all 360 days, not only the month of June," Lira said. "San Fernando Valley is going to be stronger if we're going to make a difference."...
