As our own Amy Curtis will write in a VIP post later today, there can be a lot of political pressure applied to organizations to fly the Pride flag in honor of Pride Month. We all remember when President Joe Biden hung a Pride flag from the White House in between two American flags for his LGBTQ picnic on the White House lawn.
And then there are smaller stories. As we reported a year ago this month, the town of Wethersfield, Connecticut, gathered for a pride event, and town Democrats refused to fly the thin blue line flag because it represented "racism and antagonism." They did honor fallen officer Aaron Pelletier, though, by lowering the city's Pride flag to half-staff.
Libs of TikTok reports that, in response to overwhelming concern from students and parents about Pride flags having been removed from Missoula, Montana's classrooms, the city voted to make the Pride flag an official flag of the city.
WTF

The city of Missoula, MT, voted 9-2 to make the Pride flag an OFFICIAL city flag to get around a law banning political flags on government property.

Every single city will try to do this now

Any city that does this needs to have the state they’re in defunded.

Montana? Wow

That is so Missoula! The Seattle of the Rockies. They have also been a a “nuclear-free” zoning district since 1978.

This is what happens when California moves to Montana. Montana becomes California.

I almost moved there in 1997. Thank goodness I didn't!

If you've ever been to Missoula this is no surprise. It's beyond woke.

Missoula is a college town, so there’s that.

That's probably a big part of it.
America may as well wave the white flag from now on.

These white liberal women are beyond destructive. Look at how they smirk at this. In the end, what have they acomplished? More hate? If you have to force people to fly your flag, are you not wrong?

If I told you getting women completely out of politics would fix this, would you be ok with it?

Everyone on the city council is probably straight … they just want to publicly display their "allyship."
Now, all of those concerned students and parents who flooded the council member's email inbox can rest easy knowing that the Pride flag will hang next to, or instead of, the American flag in city classrooms.
