The latest hate crime in America is stomping on the gay pride flag.
Who knew?
Yesterday, a man threw #PrideFlag outside my DC office 2 floor-stomped on it-called it disgusting & immoral. We must pass the #EqualityAct!

Not the flag! He stomped on it and said it’s disgusting AND immoral?!
And oh look, he’s using it as an excuse to pass legislation to keep people from being big meanies.
Democrats.
Someone stomping on a gay pride flag is the worst case of anti-LGBT hate crime in over a decade.
But the horror. ?☕ https://t.co/FgwbAL0Y4d

Dude. He stomped. ON A FLAG. Seriously.
Talk about a hate crime times a zillion and stuff.
So the #EqualityAct would make public protest of a social movement illegal? You want it to be illegal to criticize gays? https://t.co/oL3juibuEs

Democrats seem to think the best way to stop people from being mean is to legislate it, that somehow making it illegal for the man to stomp on the gay pride flag would have stopped him. And it might have, but it wouldn’t solve the issue behind why he wanted to stomp the flag in the first place.

Telling people they shouldn’t feel or believe what they do doesn’t work.
You almost have to wonder if Lowenthal would have been this upset if the man had been stomping on the American flag.
Guessing not.
