OK first off, if you work for the county, LGBT people pay your salary.

Second, this is the same county where we have to drive past that big old ugly confederate flag on 1-4

Third, this is one of the counties that were targeted in the recently defanged Civil Rights act because they had one of the highest incidents of lynchings.

Simply put, how dare this person who exists at our whim dare to be offended and demand power. No one owes your religion kowtowing, especially as it has rarely respected the rights of others.

Warning, the comments section is a sewer, mostly aimed at an openly gay council member.

1. Boo fucking hoo. Get over yourself, bigot.

2. So if they don't take down the flag will the employee be filing a lawsuit? n/t

3. Taking it down would be unbearable for more. If seeing tolerance is so unbearable, tough

4. But the rainbow is a biblical symbol!

G-d herself put one up in the sky as a promise to Noah. Stupid is as stupid does.

6. Fuck the bigots.

7. One small correction

That flag isn't in Orlando. It's in the Tampa/Brandon area. It's where the I75/275 merge just a bit away from I4. Only reason I know this is, is because I drove past it for the 4 years I was stationed there. As another kick to the nuts, it flies just past the MLK exit, which is pretty coincidence. If you believe in those.
