Trump Considers Banning Pride Flags and Labeling Them As Symbols of Domestic Terrorism

I think Turd is dying but wants to go out in a blaze of glory, becoming a forever-martyr by being assassinated.

This is it. We knew he was going to come for us gay men and lesbians eventually after he and his cronies started with the trans people.

This is serious shit.

I’m sure the Log Cabin Republicans are happy.

So much for freedom of speech

MTG's BF is quite the looker, isn't he?

r5 HE IS ALL MAN BABY

As are you, Marjorie.

I hope someone in the administration lobbies to allow the original pride flag to stay, so that it’s only the flag with all the extra junk on it that is affected.

Caitlin Jenner, you in danger, girl

The content of the article doesn’t match the headline. He doesn’t say he’s considering it. (Though I wouldn’t put it past him.)

Trump is working overtime lately to deflect from Epstein. He’s saying every crazy thing he can think of to change the channel.

And, what do we hear about this from the gays in his Admin????

R10 he said he would be okay with the idea when presented with it.

This isn't about the original pride flag. It's about the newer, completely unnecessary flag. The one that *is* associated with transgender bullshit.

Drop the T.

r8/r14 are so silly.

They can't ban the rainbow, it's in the Bah-bull.

They can take that "progress" flag though, it's ugly.

Brian Glenn has alcoholic puffy face.

Well he’s finally come for the gays.

[quote] This isn't about the original pride flag. It's about the newer, completely unnecessary flag. The one that *is* associated with transgender bullshit.

And this is how it happens. Why yes, of course, the president gets to ban any symbol he wants anywhere he feels like it. As long as it's just directed at "those people."

You're a whore, darling. A complete whore for the Trump Cult.

Trump is out of his fucking mind. He's seriously insane.

He's going to spend 4 years distracting with these stunts because he doesn't know what he's doing. Same as 2016.

We have to stop reacting to everything he says, really. He says a lot of dumb shit that has our head in constant whiplash. We just need to stand still and focus and wait until it happens. We can't call him TACO on one hand and act like chicken little when he makes some offhanded comment that scares us. Let him do it, and then as he says, then sue. I am sure the burning the flag executive order will not stand. He can't keep taking all of his grievances to the Supreme Court - especially obvious constitutional infractions.

Who's going to tell him about YMCA?

Domestic terrorism?? The only thing gays have done is color in the pavement with colored chalk

Where’s the “Trump LOVES gays!” crowd??

I agree that we don't need to overreact to everything but we need to be clear constantly: the president is a treasonous fuck who does not give a shit about the constitution or his real role or his actual duties. He just loves being a treasonous fuck and spouting treasonous fuckery. It should be noted whenever it happens, as should his lack of mental fitness and his whole crazy ass view of this country and this world. We don't need to overreact, but a reaction including a reaction by Democratic leaders expressing their disgust at yet another wouldbe power grab by the treasonous fuck is fine, and often useful. There should be a constant reminder that only one party still believes in the constitution and real laws and real limits on presidential powers.

Now we know why his hand makeup is atrocious. What self-respecting gay makeup artist would touch that pot of goo?

You can mark it r26, just don't jump. That is what you want, your opponent reeling and always on the defense. When it comes to him actually putting pen to paper with an order, that's when you have the lawsuit lined up. But constantly talking about his comments as if they are policy allows him to control the narrative.

So where is his slutty whore "wife" when he is trying to be a bully yet again?

Isn't she supposed to be against this?

Is she a terrorist for taking so much $$$ for speaking in front of the loony log cabin bitches?

Trumpy held up a pride flag in the fall of 2016. Is he now a domestic terrorist too?

He said that he couldn’t do it but would have no problem with it. The headline doesn’t match the actual quote.

I do get that r28, and I get that it is often a balancing act. But the problem is that this really is normalization. It is now normal for the President of this alleged democracy to toy with the idea of banning symbols he doesn't like, normal to toy with invading American cities with the military, normal to toy with the idea of punishing people who refuse to see the sanctity of Charles Kirk, normal to arrest and deport people for disagreeing with the president about Israel or really anything else. It's a very bad slope we're on, and yes I get that by and large the courts are trying to hold the line. But first, we shouldn't have to wait for some court to decide whether clear violations of the constitution are in fact violations. And second, I just don't trust this Supreme Court to even decide all these cases clearly or with integrity. Sometimes, it's really the court of public opinion that has to tell people like Trump and his cult and his whores and grifters to fuck off right from the beginning.

Does that lying motherfucking criminal, insurrectionist, pedo who belongs in prison even know what terrorism even is?

We saw something similar in June. The original pride flag was okay. The trans and progress flag: no.

The plan is to establish his administration's absolute right to do whatever they want to anybody.

Trump and his followers who planned and carried out the attack of the U.S. Capitol and the attempted overthrow of a free and fair election on Jan 6, 2021 are domestic terrorists.

GTFO of here you orange piece of shit who deserves to have a fatal heart attack.

[quote]I’m sure the Log Cabin Republicans are happy.

Have they issued a statement in support of this yet?

I've been reading the DM for at least 15 years. Over the past couple of years, I have noticed a huge shift in tone regarding the gay community. I'd say about 2/3 of their readers consider themselves conservative, yet comments under gay themed articles were always respectful.

Now it's pure vitriol and hatred for the community. I've seen comments saying "Ban gay marriage" with huge upvotes. "All gays are evil." Constant "alphabet' slurs and, of course mocking gay celebs yet always including the comment "who cares?" when they come out. That's why they come out you fucking morons to offset ignorant assholes like you.

People don't want to hear it, but trans have done irrevocable damage to LGB. The fact the average person thinks gay and trans are intertwined is because we allowed them in. They hijacked our cause, took over the narrative and here we are.

Not defending him, but the actual content of what he said doesn't really match the headline. What he did say tho sounds like a stoned middle schooler. His cognitive decline continues .

R38, the hysterical queens here can’t read or at least choose not to.

R37, only right-wing gays spew that "LGB" crap. Your fellow right-wingers have done way more damage to gay people than trans people have

We have freedom of speech in this country, whether you like it or not

Can anyone explain why Americans are so interested in gay stuff? Maybe they feel its too in their face, but so is sport and so I just bypass it. Traditionally gays don't cause riots or damage and just try to get on with life. I like Pride, but 90% of the gays I know feel t doesn't represent them, so they don't go. So, if we look at this carefully, a tiny portion of gays attend Prides. Trans people are a teeny, tiny part of society. Why are we discussed so much? I now beloeve its down to one thing, good old fashioned Jealousy. The media has portrayed us as being more handsome, more interesting, having more fun, way more cash and living the carefree life. Being promiscuous is something they use to put us down but I think they are so jealous. Why else wud people drive u crazy, unless ur jealous of them.

[quote] Not defending him, but the actual content of what he said doesn't really match the headline. What he did say tho sounds like a stoned middle schooler. His cognitive decline continues .

He sounded like someone who wanted to sound like he was willing to go long with the person asking, to placate them, but who has no intention of doing it.

R40 I'm not right-wing. That was the norm when I was growing up. Now it's a have-to-catch-your-breath to include all of the groups in what used to just be LGB. Inclusivity is one thing, but this little circus train is off the rails and headed for disaster.

Just a thought, but perhaps next time you respond, you could lead with rational thought instead of emotion. I'm sure you think it comes across as passion for the cause, but to me it makes you sound like an immature person.

R37, I found peace when I was able to recognize bots for bots. all those sites comment sections are full of them. They usually are quick bullying statement like the ones you pointed out.

R44, they’re not bots. The DM has a rigorous system in place for commenting. IPs are checked along with emails.

There is a huge anti-LGBTQIA backlash in the UK now thanks to all the new Right-wing media outlets and an out of touch government.

[quote] There is a huge anti-LGBTQIA backlash in the UK now

There’s a backlash against every one of the letters? That seems hard to believe. What have the asexuals, for example, done to piss people off?

[quote]Trump is out of his fucking mind. He's seriously insane.

At his age, dementia is a real possibility.

I'd rather drop the B. That's like people who sometimes don't eat meat on weekends grouping themselves with vegetarians/vegans and demanding that their diets be accommodated.

They are coming for gay marriage and all of us regardless. Divorcing trans from our community will not stop them. They would be happy for us to turn on each other while they pick us off one letter at a time.

If he had his way the American Flag would be gold.

r41 several straight male friends of mine, when they've had too much to drink, have confessed to me that they envy the way gay men can have sex anytime we want it. We can get laid in five minutes, but for straight men it's a struggle most of the time.

Those asexual flags are so dangerous.

[quote] MTG's BF is quite the looker, isn't he?

Gays are ALWAYS the first-demonized bunch in fascist societies—look at Russia, Hungary, a whole slew of African and Arab countries. It’s not religion they have in common but the type of government.

Historically Jews were the favorite bogeymen, but they gained political and social power so countries no longer openly attack them. Once gays became more visible, they were the group dictators shifted their ire towards. Bolsonaro did it when to ran Brazil, and Trump is already starting it in the US.

It has nothing to do with trans —except governments have found a new minority to condemn for political gain.

They have always hated us. Yes, we have fought back with some political muscle but we still have much to do

[quote]What have the asexuals, for example, done to piss people off?

I have no idea. We're so lovable!

R56 Gay neighborhoods in the United States are some of the most affluent and exclusive neighborhoods in the US.

You think the National Guard is going to come raid the millionaires on Fire Island and P-Town and throw them in concentration camps?

Let’s be real. Didn’t Peter Thiel just become the first gay billionaire?

We are not oppressed people.

I don’t agree with radical trans ideology but I don’t want to “Drop the T” because at the end of the day, I don’t believe real transgender people are the issue.

Transgender people are a small population of the US and in 2025, a small population of people who are in the trans identity.

No one wants to talk about the fact that they have been hijacked by non-transgender people. I call them Buffalo Bills. Buffalo Bill in “Silence of the Lambs” would have gotten hormone treatment today. He wouldn’t have had to make his skin suit, the doctors would have welcomed him with open arms. That’s the issue today.

--------2016. When the GOP stole a Supreme Court seat. (The first time, not to be confused with the second time they did it.) You think Trump won't steal the Pride flag because he knows a Gay Billionaire? What universe do YOU live in?

The Trans Community stole OUR rainbow flag a few years ago with the help of GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, OUT, etc etc....

A 2024 NBC News report noted that rainbow flags were conspicuously absent from "Trump UNITY" rallies hosted by The Log Cabin Republicans

Log Cabin Republicans don't like the Pride flag anyway, they don't fly it at their events.

Going forward, use of the word “Epstein” will be treated as an act of insurrection.

Hate is probably what k eeps him alive.

Trump is a glitch in the matrix.

News flash: Moron quislings behave like moron quislings.

I just thought of a remedy to Trump's big mouth. Tie his hands behind his back and he won't be able to say a word.

R58, you think gays aren't oppressed because some gays are rich?

A disproportionately large number of billionaires are Jewish...does that mean antisemitism isn't real?

In the future, I think the president's power is going to be reigned in big time. I'm talking about changes to the constitution.

Trump is extremely negative and makes people feel bad. He needs to go.

And most of this courtesy of homophobic, ass-backwards Russia (where the GOP get their marching orders from).

Watch out now, take care Beware of greedy leaders They'll take you where you should not go

I fucked that up.

Watch out now, beware of greedy leaders

They'll take you where you should not go

4 words I’m dying for a live person to say: you’re a c____ m_______. Have we seen anything to the contrary?

JD Vance with a pillow in the night. You think he's gonna let Trump find someone else to succeed him? Not happening.

Jaydine is a sad closet case with a trapped wife and 2 victims for kids.

Demonize trans people hard enough, and this is the natural conclusion. On this website alone, we have god knows how many bulldozers injecting trans nonsense into the most mundane threads. Screaming bloody murder about how toilets and changing rooms have been invaded, despite never having witnessed any such thing personally. Gnashing teeth and rending garments because women are under constant rhetorical assault by hypothetical men in dresses. Trump and co. could never have even dreamt of such a loyal brigade of foot soldiers helping him wage a holy war against a group who constitute, what, maybe one tenth of one percent of the population? And now we’re all fucked, thank you very much.

[Quote] Gay neighborhoods in the United States are some of the most affluent and exclusive neighborhoods in the US.

Jewish neighborhoods in Germany were some of the most affluent too

R77, yep. The fact that many Jews and gays are successful just makes some bigots resent us more

And a lot of bigots freaked out when we had a black president and call successful black people "DEI hires"

^ like C Kirk, a community college dropout calling Michelle Obama, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, unqualified and needing to steal a job from a white man.

Fucking Nazi..welcome back to 1833

Beware of Darkness...GH/LR R71

I would not miss the pink and powder blue phallic symbol that fucks the original gay flag up the ass. I mean, they had their own flag. Why'd they have to rape ours?

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's terrorism
