Rainbow Flag Goes Up; Letters Flow In (June 2011)

I notice how old this article is. Before I comment I would like to know if the flag came down? Has it been up in the subsequent years?


Things like that.


P.S. Meanwhile I will contribute a peculiar amendment from the Colorado Constitution.

It seems that the flag only flew for a month or so during June, 2011 at the request of "PRISM" (an employee resource of the bank) as to "show the Bank's commitment to diversity and inclusion". (ource) That particular flag has been according to sources donated to the Valentine Richmond History Center (source).

NO PROTECTED STATUS BASED ON HOMOSEXUAL, LESBIAN OR BISEXUAL ORIENTATION. Neither the State of Colorado, through any of its branches or departments, nor any of its agencies, political subdivisions, municipalities or school districts, shall enact, adopt or enforce any statute, regulation, ordinance or policy whereby homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual orientation, conduct, practices, or relationships shall constitute or otherwise be the basis of or entitle any person or class of persons to have or claim any minority status, quota preferences, protected status or claim of discrimination.

Very interesting and appropriate IMHO. How one uses or fails to use one's genitalia or bodily orifices should not give rise to a 'special protected status'. Homosexuals have persecuted straights bitterly (child molestation, date-rape drugs, war-related sodomy etc.), not the other way around and now that they have been giving a wider berth they are simply doing the same things they always did in secret.

Consider, in State of New Zealand, "gays" and "lesbians" have the option of what is called a "partnership", even for immigration and residence purposes. However, there is no "gay marriage" there. Using one's genitalia in a certain way does not 'convert' someone into a new species.

Despite all the lies and propaganda the very truth is even as far back as in 1998 that the State of California gave just as much credence to gay couples as straight couples per 'common law marraige' and palimony.

That means that 'gay cohabitation' gets more recognition by U.S. States than organic, lawful Christian marriage sans State licensure. According to the book scanned (Gay and Lesbian Rights by Brette McWhorter Sember), gay common law marriage was recognized by California in 1988.

States that do recognize common law marriage include the following: Alabama, Colorado, District of Columbia, Georgia (if created prior to 1997), Idaho (if created before 1996), Iowa, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire (for inheritance purposes only), Ohio (if created prior to 10/1991), Oklahoma, Pennsylvania (if created before 9/2003), Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. Same-sex relationships or marriages are never recognized as common law. (Source - Legalzoom)

That isn't quite true if from evidence 'common law marriage' of 'gay' couples were recognized on the same or similar level as non-gay marriages in California in 1998. Basically, when convenient, they quote statute as if the court cases don't exist or they quote court cases as if statutes don't exist. In 1988, the California courts gave gay partnership the same standard for alimony as a straight common law or statutory marriage. That was over 20 years ago.

So it seems even more so that the "Gay Agenda" is just an extension of Marxist-Leninist Destructivism and it uses lies and deception to achieve objectives (just like Marxist-Leninism): Strategies of the Homosexual Movement: "The Overhauling of Straight America".
