WOW! Really? I know a lot of you get annoyed with some of the vocally gay posters around here, but I sure as hell hope you're trolling with your votes on this topic... 34 no, 13 yes at this point.

In truth I suppose NO flags other than military unit or US flags should be flown on military bases... HOWEVER if you let people fly other than those, I can't see or even understand any reason why you would disallow others.



Please explain what current "right" they have to fly a rainbow flag then within military regulations. That is the question at hand is it not? The right to wave a flag?



In the civilian fantasy, random flags fly around in the wind and everyone holds hands in a happy and peaceful utopia. Don't blame Cawlin, it took him 3 sentences to understand the question, and by that point he had already voted.

Well what right is there to fly any other flag on a military base?

If there is some right to fly "personal" flag as in: not directly affiliated with their military unit or the units on base or the American flag, why should any flag be disallowed?

Honestly I think the question is moot and that no flags outside of Old Glory or specifically sanctioned military unit flags should be allowed, but I can't understand why you'd allow someone to fly their own Jolly Roger and not allow someone else to fly a rainbow...



Still doesn't address the question at hand. Tell me what right they have to do so via military regulations and I'll vote yes. Otherwise you have no grounds to condemn anyone based on their vote.

Their right is implied by the right of anyone else to fly other flags not officially sanctioned.


This is an easy thing to figure out dude.

Am I allowed to fly my Dale Earnhardt #3 flag on base? My Jolly Roger flag? My Gadsden flag? If I am allowed to do so, then you are allowed to fly your rainbow flag.

Then point out that right via military regulations. I've said it three times, are you that thick?

LOL I haven't bothered to read all the drivel in this thread. I read the OP, a few posts after that and then posted. I surely haven't read your other posts until you started addressing me. I see I haven't missed much either. Here's a hint:


Caledric posted:

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



If THIS was allowed (and assuming the pirate flag Caledric is speaking about was not an officially unit flag), then flying a rainbow should be allowed. If flying a rainbow is not allowed, then neither should flying a Jolly Roger be allowed.

Honestly it's that fkn simple...

I love how people say homosexuality isnt natural. do you have any idea how many species in nature practice homosexuality.

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-

Dude those are obfuscating statements made to troll you. Anyone who ACTUALLY thinks that isn't worth talking to. You should just let it go.
