Marjorie Taylor Greene lashes out at rainbow flag as “symbol of aggression” against straight people
She was talking to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on his podcast. He played a clip of her complaining about the rainbow flag being flown at the hotel that hosted the organization’s conference.
“Shame on them! Shame on them for hanging that flag out there!” she said. “Because it shouldn’t be about what people do sexually that causes us to hang a flag somewhere.”
She said that gay people already have enough rights, including the right to vote and to buy houses, so now the rainbow flag is “a symbol of aggression” and is “grooming children to believe a complete lie that they can change their gender.”
“It’s perverted, it’s abhorrent, it’s evil, and it’s an attack on our children who are the most innocent among us and I’m completely disgusted with this,” Greene said.
On Twitter, her language was just as combative.
“The pride movement is not about rights for gay people anymore,” she said. “Every American has equal rights. [The rainbow flag] has become a symbol of aggression that should be concerning to all Americans.”
“This is an evil, perverted, and hyper sexualized agenda that is targeting kids and it must end!”
Despite her insistence that it’s just LGBTQ+ people who care about their sexuality, the conference that she was speaking on was described by Jezebel as a “Republican conference” that “tells young women to give up their dreams and their birth control.” Many of the speakers focused on young women’s sexuality, saying that they needed to get married and have heterosexual sex quickly so that they could have children, otherwise they’ll end up alone and sad.
“There are a lot of successful, 35-year-old orthopedic surgeons that have cats and not kids, and they’re very miserable,” Kirk himself declared as he berated the young women in attendance.

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"
