Michigan city officials fired for flying 2SLGBTQIA+whatever-comes-next flag on gov't property

2SLGBTQIA+whatever-comes-next Pride flag

A pair of Michigan city officials on the Hamtramck Human Relations Commission were fired after violating a city ordinance that bans the display of the 2SLGBTQIA+whatever-comes-next Pride flags on city property.

The move came after the all- Muslim city council voted to ban the display of the 2SLGBTQIA+whatever-comes-next Pride flags last month. In a unanimous vote, Russ ["The Flasher"] Gordon and Cathy Stackpoole were unceremoniously booted off the human relations commission after it was determined by the council that they were responsible for flying the 2SLGBTQIA+whatever-comes-next Pride flag on government property.

“This Council believes in fairness, neutrality towards our residents, and the rule of law, amongst other things for this community. We passed a resolution recently to do just that, and two of our sworn commissioners outright defied it, and did what they wanted,” Council member Khalil Refai told Fox News in a statement. He said the council considered flying the 2SLGBTQIA+whatever-comes-next to be a violation of the city's trust.

“We were elected by the people of the community to make these decisions, and they not only violated the resolution but the trust of the whole community by doing this. For this reason, Council felt the appropriate response was to remove them from their public positions of trust,” Refai said.

The human relations commission is supposed to encourage “tolerance,” “multiculturalism,” and “constructive communication.”

Back in 2008, Christians and Muslims joined forces to oppose a city ordinance that would include the then-LGBT community as a protected group.

The resolution to ban all ideological flags from the Michigan city’s property was introduced in June by Councilman Mohammed Hassan.

Fun Fact: Pride [aka hubris] is one of the seven deadly sins. It is considered the worst of the seven on almost every list, the most demonic and thought to be the source of the other capital sins. It's the opposite of humility.
