It must be hard to be this fragile little bitch of a bigot.

And not a single person has complained about being “forced” to see all the churches he also goes past.
Waiting for the precedent so the Church of Satan Satanic Temple can abuse the fuck out of it to start forcing churches into seclusion
I have complained about that. I just didn't file a lawsuit...
This is one of those rare paradox for me. I truly hate religion. Yet, I hold lots of respect and even amazement at some of the religious architecture.
It’s truly amazing what people can achieve when they want to. Too bad it’s done in service of bigoted ignorance.
Whenever I see incredible religious structures, the emotion after amazement is sadness, because what if all that effort were put toward something productive?
So yes, but also this is slightly different than that. It's about the department itself flying the flag. Still absolutely insane, but slightly less insane than that. The end result, if this person wins, is literally no flags or any other messaging. "My religion doesn't support nationalism." This would also include extreme stances like "my religion doesn't support the periodic table" or things like that.
Would be fun to see this lawsuit succeeding.
The Satanic Temple would have a field day suing everything christian by this precedent.
It's very simple. We'll get rid of the pride flags as soon as they get rid of all the crosses. Fair is fair, after all.
The fucking crosses, man.
You think Jesus ever would want to see another cross again?
Dude wouldn't be able to take Public Transit in Boston.
If Jesus came back he probably wouldn't even use the letter "t".
Imagine resurrecting into a world full of people wearing crosses with you nailed to them all just acting like it's not fucked
The funny part is that they aren’t even historically accurate crosses. The cross was more like a capital T. The upright post was buried in the ground like a fence pole, with a square peg carved at the top. The actual cross part was just the crossbar, with a matching square hole carved in it. The crossbar was lifted up and set on top of that peg.
The square peg likely only stuck out an inch or two from the top of the T, and that was mostly just to make it more durable, as the peg wore down with use but burying the posts was a labor intensive process. They didn’t want to bury a new post for every single crucifixion, so they made the posts reusable and just swapped out the crossbars.
When Jesus carried his cross to Calvary, he was only carrying the top of the T. But over time, to distinguish it from the capital T, Christians started using the modern cross with the accentuated peg, and it eventually morphed into the modern cross that we all recognize today.
Then you go to church and see them eat your flesh and blood.
thats why theres the angels to clear everything out when the time comes.
Jesus talkking to Peter after the rapture: "Yeah, got all of them, except those antichristians who celebrate my death with crosses. No way I'm bring those sick weirdos up here."
That brings a whole new dimension to the T, but you know what, after being subjected to the green line more than a few times it entirely makes sense.
I see confederate flags round here all the time and I don't feel forced to celebrate the confederacy.. idiot.
Christians like this are SO addicted to seeing themselves as victims.
Well the alternative is that they would have to help the poor and generally be a good member of society and that's too much like hard work so it's much easier to claim that they are the victim.
There is a certain strain of Christianity that must see itself as the underdog in a cosmic war of good and evil. Everything fits into that overarching narrative.
this guy does not deserve his last name
having to see a Progress Pride flag … forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin”
If it only was that easy to get people to celebrate, recognize, and solemnize gay sex, world would be a better place no doubt.
How does seeing something equate to celebration, recognition, or solemnization?
If this works, is it not precedent to make the same complaint every time I see a cross?
Or see “god” anywhere.
Since they claim he's everywhere, we can demand he stops spying on us in the bathroom.
Maybe. Sometimes different rules apply to government (public) property vs private.
