Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

I was permitted to fly my Pirate flag outside my hutch. Why can't they fly whatever flag they want?

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

Do homosexual rainbows have the right to shine over Taliban tents?

also, in GW1, American Forces were expressly forbidden from even flying the USA flag over our bases.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

If people can fly a pirate flag or a flag of their choice then there's no reason they can't put up a rainbow flag. Only homophobes will be against it...


On the otherhand..if there's rules that state you can only put up the American flag, or their policy is only the American flag, this should be held across the board. No being selective on who gets away with the rules, letting pirate flags go up but not rainbow flags for instance.


(how many times can you say flag in one post?)

What does that even mean do they have the right? Do they have a constitutional right to fly a rainbow flag on a military base? I'd say no. Do they have a moral right to be able to celebrate their sexuality in a non-disruptive manner, the same as everyone else? Absolutely. Is it within their military regulations? I don't know, go ask someone still in the military.
