It's not you because it's so gay that I kept misreading it as "gay pride looking gay".
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Well that’s a nice thought, but I’ve never been able to convince anyone with an irrational position acting and.speaking from their emotions of anything with logic or reason. It’s kind of like it permanently sets them to complete un reasonableness 🙄

Yes, except for those shabby suits. If they are straight there's definitely no women around.

They look like brothers who have sex with each other on a regular basis.

Well, it's two GUYS holding the flag. What, they couldn't find a woman to help?

On reflection, I think it would work best as a ‘trans pride’ banner. The male and female symbols are mostly placed in the opposite fields of traditional colour association, and linking the symbols together doesn’t suggest hetero sex so much as it does gender fluidity.
Alternately, we could just go with the assumption that the thing was designed by very stupid people and leave it at that.

Time to invest in a powerful political atheist movement
Quote:Ohio Allows Doctors to Deny LGBTQ Health Care on Moral Grounds
In the latest state-level swing at LGBTQ health care access, Ohio will now allow medical providers to refuse to administer any medical treatment that violates their moral, ethical, or religious beliefs.
The provision allows anyone providing medical care — from doctors and nurses to researchers and lab techs – and anyone paying for that care (namely, insurance providers), “the freedom to decline to perform, participate in, or pay for any health care service which violates the practitioner’s, institution’s, or payer’s conscience as informed by the moral, ethical, or religious beliefs.”

^ I really don't know what to say about that. Religious beliefs should never have to play apart in anything ESPECIALLY people's lives.
