The LGBT movement is revolutionary, but they understand the profundity and necessity of symbols – especially flags.
One of the key culture war clashes between normie culture and LGBT activists has been the battle over flagpoles. Progressives claim to be “decolonizers,” but they also understand that colonizers have always hoisted their banner over conquered territory – which is why they fight so fiercely to have their own flags flown from government and school flagpoles.
They are not making the case for “inclusivity.” They are marking conquered territory.
There have been plenty of recent examples to illustrate this trend. There was the mayor of the small town of Emo, Ontario, who had his bank account garnished for voting against flying the LGBT flag on public property – even though the township doesn’t have a flagpole. Or LGBT activists protesting topless every Sunday outside a church in Norwich, Ontario because of a bylaw restricting civic flagpoles to regional flags.
Indeed, transgender and LGBT flags flown outside Catholic schools in Ontario has become a flashpoint this year. Activists have worked to infiltrate Christian institutions and implement LGBT ideology for years – and the final indication of their victory is to run the conquering flag up the flagpole.
Christians and conservatives have finally gotten wise to what is going on, and the flag wars have heated up. Republican-controlled legislatures in Utah and Idaho have recently banned “unofficial” flags on government property, with a dozen other states considering similar legislation.
