As with everything else, Christians are hypocrites about free speech.

As with everything else, Christians are hypocrites about free speech.

They'll spit up their blood of Christ and cry that they are being persecuted and silenced when an overbearded racist homophobe is fired for doing something that would get you fired from almost any job or when you take down a cross from public property according to the law, but "rights" only apply if you're on Jesus' side, apparently, as a woman in California found out when she began flying a gay pride flag on her own private property.

Quote:"On a separate matter, have HOA members contacted PowerStone re: Kurt's [Killian, Pham's housemate] 'Fag Flag?'" reads a June 4 email obtained by the Weekly sent by a resident. "Is the GAY PRIDE [capitalized and in rainbow colors] display protected by free speech rights? The Orangetree Patio Homes neighbors are shaking their heads in disgust. Sexuality is private, and Kurt's display is very, very public. It's even visible from the tennis courts."

Quote:"[The residents] . . . have had their 'gay pride' flag up for six to eight weeks," reads another resident's email, dated July 11. "The flag has two wedding rings interlocked and many rainbow-colored stripes. It is an eyesore.

Quote:"In my opinion, it is okay to feel strongely [sic] about a cause," the email continues. "But to leave their 'political statement' up for this long is ridiculous, and I am offended. Most people do not choose the gay lifestyle, and personally, it irritates me to have to be reminded every day of two men having sex with each other. It's not a fun thing to look at as I come and go every day. If someone left their sign up regarding an election for more than a week or two, it would get very old and be an eyesore."

Quote:Someone taped a press release by Westboro Baptist Church to the house's door that read, in part, "We've turned America over to the fags; [soldiers are] coming home in body bags." At approximately the same time, someone also placed a note that says, "God Hates Flags"—a play on Westboro's infamous "God Hates Fags" slogan—on Killian's car.

In response, she did this:

You can almost see the middle finger in that.

If I saw that display, I'd be reminded of two hot chicks having sex with each other. Definitely not irritating. Or maybe this person is saying that his/her nether regions become "irritated" when thinking of two men getting it on? There might only be one remedy for that...
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yes, but apparently they're invisible when they do it.

I had no idea they had special powers!

I love the "it's even visible from the tennis courts" bit. I mean, cm on! The road, OK. But the tennis Courts?! Just wrong!

That decoration took skills! Impressive.

The rainbow's a pretty popular design before it was incorporated into gay pride movement, to compare it to election banners and call it an eyesore is to admit to having no taste at all.
