LGBT Flag Outside Florida County Center Is “Unbearable,” Says Christian Employee

by Hemant Mehta

After the mass shooting in Orlando last week, a rainbow flag went up outside the county center in Hillsborough, Florida. But a complaint from a Christian may soon bring it down:

In an email sent to… the county human relations director Peggy Rowe on Thursday, Commissioner Stacy White said he received an anonymous complaint from a county employee that the presence of the flag was “nearly unbearable” for her to pass on her way to work and created a “hostile work environment.”

49 people were gunned down at a gay nightclub, but Kim Davis: Florida Edition can’t handle looking at a rainbow flag. This isn’t an anti-Christian symbol. This isn’t the promotion of any controversial position. This is merely showing solidarity with a group of people who were targeted in an all-out attack. But I guess showing empathy for dead people is too “hostile” for her.

Commissioner Stacy White is furious with his colleagues for voting 5-1 to raise the flag on Wednesday without considering the impact it would have on bigots: “It is still — in my view — unconscionable that the county administrator didn’t express to the board that this divisive symbol might create an uncomfortable workplace environment for many of his employees.”

It’s only divisive if you’re an asshole.

1. Genesis 9:13

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

Yea, I don't get it either.

What's the problem?

2. I doubt very much there was an anonymous complaint

like most family values republicans, Stacy White is a lying hypocrite as well as a bigoted asshole.

4. Yeah, pretty much what I thought as well

Staunch (stench?) conservative is also a liar. Big surprise.

3. Tolerance is hostility? 1984 was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a how-to book.
