"Faith Month" is Coming!
How does it make you feel when the Gay Pride flag waves over your community's City Hall … our nation's State Department … local police headquarters … your child's school? I am determined to not just be irritated or even angry when I see the rainbow flag flying. I am committed to standing up for my faith. The right to display the Christian flag in public was challenged in the courts in 2022 (Shurtleff v. Boston). A Christian group asked the city of Boston to fly a Christian flag over City Hall. Boston's city hall is quite prolific in their flag display. They have flown 300 different flags at City Hall and had never previously denied a request, but they drew the proverbial line at the Christian flag. The Christian group argued that the city's refusal to grant the request violates the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech. The Supreme Court agreed with them. I could not agree more. |
