More. “We did not intend, in any way, to diminish the significant contributions of Delaware’s LGBTQ community,” said the governor’s communications director, who noted that a gif was posted on Carney’s Facebook page on June 22. The post says, “Happy Pride Month!” with the hashtag #PrideMonth.
Said the activists, Not enough!
More. Maybe just a tactic to ensure this happened.

I’ve noticed that while Democratic elected officials are nasty when conservative organizations criticize them, they’re always nice in public when a liberal organization does it. Then in private they harvest their liberal critics’ organs and sell them on the black market. When they’re really, really angry, they humiliate you in public under the cover of courtesy. “We gave you a gif. We were being charitable.”

The criticism in the post is true enough. The problem is that this is exactly what the Right is doing, too, in its attempts to drag the State into the task of defining what is, and is not, “religious freedom.” Anti-gay Christians want the government to define the parameters of religious freedom in a way that settles the argument in their favor.
They’ve been trying for forty years to throw all gay people out of the churches–and to keep us out. That hasn’t been working out for them, as even more conservative congregations are beginning to accept us. This was the actual origin of their angst about “religious freedom.” They still can’t even bring themselves, in the debate, to admitting that there are actual–gasp!–gay Christians. That tips their hand.
They lack the confidence, in their own supposed convictions, to really put both feet in the arena and thrash it out with us. Instead, they try to pretend we don’t exist. And now they want the State to help make us magically disappear.

So if the Regressive Left calls it “fake news,” then it must be true.

Pride acknowledgement was done via social media. So, it wasnt a coverup or a conspiracy. Just the Internet. Calm down.

Stop being a tone-policing prick for a second, wake up and smell the gay erasure. Allies say gay, bigots say el-jibbity.

More “religious freedom” nonsense for Miller to ignore.

More freedom of association liberties for Kosh III to sneer at. Do you think LGBT retirement communities should be banned because, you know, JIM CROW.

Retirement comunities are NOT legally mandated, non-dsicrimination is. Get a brain and use it.

I think anyone who says el-jibbity instead of gay and lesbian is a bigot who deserves to be totally ostracized by decent human beings until you learn to JUST SAY GAY. Yes, the transcult should be banned for the same reason pseudoreligious ex-gay therapy is rightly banned.

Leviticus 24:19-21 states as follows: “If a man injures his countryman, so too shall he be injured in the exact same fashion, namely fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him.”
That means the same Bible breeders bash us with gives us permission to bash them back. Ban heterosexual perversion from our businesses and homes. Ban it from our movie theaters and TV screens. Ban it from our schools and synagogues. Ban it from our armed forces. Ban it from every corner of the globe. Outbreed it from the human species altogether. Homosexuality is the only normal form of human sexuality whatsoever. Just because I’m gay doesn’t mean I’m supposed to be okay with every form of sexual perversion under the sun and act like it is somehow equivalent to the love I feel for other men. God created man in His image and made men beautiful. Homophobia is misandry. Heterosexual men are cucks.
