CBC News is reporting that the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has ordered the small town of Emo to pay damages after failing to hoist an “LGBTQ2 rainbow flag” in celebration of Pride Month. One problem is that the town of fewer than 2000 inhabitants does not have a flagpole (though you could presumably “show the flag” in other ways).
The National Post reports, that there has been a lengthy arbitration process between the tribunal and the town.
In a decision handed down last week, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario found that Emo, its mayor, and two councilors violated the Ontario Human Rights Code. The tribunal admitted in a later opinion that “the record indicated the Township did not receive many requests for declarations or proclamations or requests for display of a flag.” Indeed, in a single 12-month period, they received only four — two from Borderland Pride.
Emo does not have a central flagpole, other than the Canadian flag over the front door of the Emo Municipal Office.
One issue that factored greatly in the tribunal hearings occurred during the debate over the flag proposal, which the council rejected by a vote of three to two. In the meeting. Mayor Harold McQuaker stated, “There’s no flag being flown for the other side of the coin … there’s no flags being flown for the straight people.”
Doug Judson, a lawyer and a member of Borderland Pride’s board of directors, said that “the important thing we were seeking here was validation … as 2SLGBTQA plus people.”
The tribunal ruled that Borderland Pride will be awarded $15,000, with $10,000 coming from the township and $5,000 from Emo mayor Harold McQuaker.
At first, the fine against “McQuaker” in the town of “Emo” for failing to hoist an “LGBTQ2 rainbow flag” on a non-existent flagpole seemed too contrived. However, the mayor of Emo is a McQuaker, and the Canadian press is standing by the story.
For years, the Canadian human rights tribunals have been the spearhead of the anti-free speech movement. We have previously discussed the tribunals (here, here, and here) in such controversies.
Not only must the town pay the fines, but McQuaker and Emo’s chief administrative officer were ordered to complete an online course called “Human Rights 101” and “provide proof of completion … to Borderland Pride within 30 days” as recompense for their disobedience.
The Post report notes the course being offered by the Ontario Human Rights Commission. The animated video begins with what McQuaker must feel is a tad Orwellian with a statement that the Human Rights Code “is not meant to punish.” After all, being retrained to be a better human can hardly be viewed as punishment.
Hoist that on your nonexistent flagpole.
Here is the opinion: Ontario Human Rights Tribunal

Abraham Lincoln, a fellow traveler of Karl Marx, violated fundamental and statutory law to commence the progressivism that evolved into socialism and, ultimately, the current full communism.
Fundamental and statutory law must have been strictly adhered to.
The Constitution and American freedom persisted for a mere 71 years.
America’s wars, with an emphasis on WWII, were fought to extend freedom out to the entire globe.
What actually happened was that America was invaded and subsumed by communism and dictatorship.
Abraham Lincoln, a fellow traveler of Karl Marx, violated fundamental and statutory law to commence the progressivism
It would take a progressive Confederate Democrat Kluxxer throwback to equate Karl Marx with Lincoln. That would be the same Karl Marx who hated blacks every bit as much as any Democrat slave trader and considered them nothing but personal property, just like the Democrats.

There can be nothing more reminiscent of Fibber McGee’s closet and what happened when he opened the door, than the continuing saga of the ‘rights’ of the ‘Alphabet People’, and when happened when society opened the door to theirs.
Bwahahahaha, what a joke. Canada is terrible, just terrible.

* The pride flag might be hoisted in remembrance of the dead who’ve died of AIDS and are still dying in the AIDS pandemic to give everyone the sense of grief and loss of human life and as the virus continues to rapidly mutate a sense of the losing battle being fought.
The argument for the morality and immorality hasn’t been made. That is what is right and wrong and long ago known as clean and unclean.
Human illnesses are caused by rapidly mutating e coli. Behaviors play an important role in what is right and wrong and so do sewage disposal systems. GEB is a physician and could possibly give people the lecture on clean.
Raw sewage with every known pathogen are being dumped into the oceans. It’s becoming a toilet bowl of infection and the rivers , too.
There is clean and unclean based in reason and not emotion. Let’s hoist the flag to the dead in mourning and remembrance of loved ones lost.
IMHO
^^^ AND my personal fave is the re-education of the mayor. 😂
Superstition is one thing but not using reasons is another. In no way is superstition a part of the post.
It’s a very unpopular opinion. 🤪
^^^ AND let’s look to Scandinavian nations and nominate for Nobel prize in medicine. They’re burning their sewage. It’s an upgrade in reality. They’ll probably link it to energy production eventually. Boiling sewage runs turbines!
^^ the incinerator toilets can be purchased now. So much better than septic tanks. Omg
Anyway, the reason it’s so contentious is because the pride movement is anti- religion. The comment is a reminder that ancient Judaism was an observation built religion based in if you do this, this happens. I’m at a loss for the milk and meat thing when gravy is so good.
Jesus Christ was a sociologist for one thing and no, the inventor of sociology wasn’t Emile Durkheim. 🤪
People have the freedom to choose wrong. They do it all the time. They’re blind spots in self evaluation. That’s true, too.
Adieu. Hoist two flags and say, why the hell not.
^^^ Gay pride or this or that pride, reimagine for a moment you’ll reincarnate and what you’ve done and not done shapes that reincarnation aka resurrection. Ellen Degeneres is a successful comedian and has her pick of lovely women?
Now reimagine Ellen in her reincarnation as a man. Completely unsuccessful, living in another nation with despotic rulers. Did she not spit in the face of herself as a woman in this life? A life in which she was given free will?
The lovely Rose Montoya in this life with self mutilation? Sigh…
Be careful what you wish for. That’s the metaphysics.
The mayor could leave or file suit? Should he mislead children? These are questions.
Jesus Christ was a sociologist for one thing and no, the inventor of sociology wasn’t Emile Durkheim.
One of the Marxist atheists better go tell Christians their bible is wrong, that Christ was actually a progressive “Marxist”
10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
11 For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.
12 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.
— 2 Thessalonians 3:10-15
* Often, the breaking of laws will reveal an underlying vice. It was the vice that made the difference. You’ve cited – laziness or sloth. Industrousness being the virtue.
Be sure to rest every 7 days as the law.
* The vice is sloth. The law is to rest every 7 days from your labor reflecting upon that labor that it was good. Reflect each day upon the labor you’ve done that it was good.
From this old dog political systems take the idea that their must be work for the people to do be they brilliant in mind or not that they can work for food, shelter, clothing and needs. Political systems must also regard the laws and virtues.
Professor Turley’s Thanksgiving day at table picture establishes his American collective consciousness. It is uniquely American.
Faith, hope and charity and the greatest among these is charity. The willingness to share…
I don’t believe Jesus of Nazareth was a socialist let alone a proto-Marxian, but these were not his words. They were written by the Apostle Paul.
* A law to rest every 7 days , to not rob, steal, lie, and others are human behaviors and so they are behaviors of groups or national identities and are collective consciousness. Collective meaning truths people share in common that form conscience.
The once national collective conscience has been supplanted by many groups warring now. The gay pride is warring with the collective conscience in Canada in the article posted. In fact it is antithetical to these people. A constitution is not a moral authority in of itself but has a moral conscience when applied by people having a moral conscience.
Gay pride has no moral authority and has failed in producing one by reason. They have no standing to make such a request except defiance of moral authority based in free will to do what is immoral on their own time, in their own person, in non public places unless it is the collective consensus that immoral laws without reason or moral authority are to be written and all people coerced by penalty to follow them.
Of course Jesus Christ was a sociologist before there were sociologists. It’s no superstition. He’s a practical man.
* 😂 I don’t either. That’s not the point btw. Collective means relying on the same cultural normatives, stories, history, etc. To know if someone is an American just ask what did you eat and do on Thanksgiving? 😂 it’s collective consciousness.
Sigh… I have no doubt professor Turley is an American 😂
Exactly!
This whole thing is way over the edge of reality, it’s actually Orwellian and delusional.
I wonder what my old Army buddy up in Barrie thinks of the absurd things the Canadian government does to squash free speech.
The Ontario Human Rights Code: “After all, being retrained to be a better human can hardly be viewed as punishment.”
It always starts with that and ends with Pol Pot. Pol Pot believed heretics had to be selected out for extinction, and he wasn’t kidding around. AT LEAST 600,000 were murdered by his regime in the name of communism. Apparently, mere “retraining” never supplied adequate communists–which was totally predictable.
The Left usually has a shelf life of fifteen years before they finally wear out their welcome… unless they get the guns. Then it’s 70 years before you get rid of them… or they get rid of you.
The American Left romped for about fifteen years from 1965 to 1980, at which point America became exhausted with them and elected Reagan. The Left romped again, starting with the Obama administration, and now fifteen years hence, the country has elected Trump. Wokism isn’t dead but it is dying. That was possible because the Left never secured Pol Pot’s level of control. That’s the only reason.
So if you want to see where we would be headed if Harris was elected, look at Canada. It doesn’t have to be murder to be tyranny… but murder is always an option to some of them.
Excellent observation, Diogenes. I doubt I’ll be around much more than 15 years, so I’m relieved.
I look forward to all Canadian towns being required to hoist the flag of Christianity and the flag of Israel during December and between Ash Wednesday and Easter to celebrate the holy months of the judeo – Christian calendar!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or I will be pleased to reeducate the entire Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The left simply refuses to mature beyond the adolescent level. Their childish rainbow flag serves only as a tribute to mental disorders.
Jonathan: When you want to avoid discussing disconcerting news here at home you often turn to Canada and the little LGBTQ2 dust up in Emo, Ontario. Frequent readers of your columns are familiar with this diversionary ploy. So I will devote my comment to more important issues–like DJT’s picks for his second administration.
DJT was a great admirer of Pres. Andrew Jackson who implemented a vast “spoils system” where he rewarded his political supporters with government jobs–even though they lacked the appropriate qualifications. “To the victor goes the spoils” was the hallmark of the Jackson administration. That sad experience led to the Pendleton Civil Service Act of 1883 that created our present professional civil service system where candidates are chosen based on their education and expertise–not their political connections. DJT wants to return to the days of Pres. Jackson with his pick to head the OMB.
Despite DJT’s claim on the campaign trail he “knew nothing” about Project 2025 who did he choose as the head of the OMB this week? It is Russ Vought, one of the principal architects of Project 2025. Vought shares DJT’s goal of dismantling the “administrative state”–replacing civil servants with a “spoils system” of political appointees. The Guardian points out in an article (11/233/24) that Vought supports DJT’s concept of an authoritarian state: “Vought describes invoking the Insurrection Act to compel the military to crack down on protests and intentionally demoralizing career federal employees to push them out of their positions. Vought has openly promoted elevating Christianity in government, complaining in speeches about ‘secularism’ and ‘Marxism’ in America”.
Looks like the ghost of Andrew Jackson will be hanging over the DJT administration during the next four years!
Lighten up, Francis…
Return to it? take a look at 99% of obama to present democrat appointees – lolol – talk about incompetent. Look through any agency, start with, say AG and laugh/cry for hours until you move to the next agency and then laugh/cry more.
Sorry, Trump will not be appointing booby-commie reich or rahm emmanuel to any cabinet positions, but that is not an indication of Trump appointing incompetents, just the opposite, in fact.
now run along back to your crushed dreams of more incompetencey via nepotism from the marxist democrats and their new shepherds, the warmongering neo-cons.
No one takes the left seriously anymore.
Well, it looks like DJT won the popular vote and the electoral college. The voters are sick of the failed “progressive” (digressive) policies and the failed left of Communist Bernie candidate Kamala. The voters have also given the President Elect the senate and the house.
It is time to move on from a constant obsession of the current President Elect and former President. You will get your moments of happiness when he faces the frustrations of that office.
I am so glad the voters saw through the massive piles of bovine excrement and gaslighting that the legacy media shoveled out on a daily basis.
Jonathan: When you want to avoid discussing disconcerting news here at home you often turn to Canada and the little LGBTQ2 dust up
Dennis. What could more disconcerting news than the fact that the dementia addled President Daddy-Daughter Incest Showers, Bribery Biden, is still considered by you and Gigi to be capable of being the Commander In Chief. While he hands the nuclear football to The First Felon Bagman Son to offer to the highest bidder among adversarial nations? For another SIX WEEKS while the wars he started and funded rage?
Are you here as just to get your sexual pleasure from trolling and insulting our host Professor Turley, as you bragged was your purpose a few days ago?
Or are you here in hopes of deflecting people asking “Dennis McIntyre: who is actually the president, anyways? And what is the Vice President doing off day drinking her sorrows away in Hawaii?”
Dennis, you coward in hiding: you are the very lowest grade of human scum.
Perhaps it’s time for you to write your own blog if you are always so displeased with what Prof. Turley writes.
The NYT recently referred to women as “non-transgender women.” Whats next, referring to sane people as non-crazy people?
* an observation:
“Woman” no longer has a meaning. Replace it with the word ” female “. Males and females. Perhaps that will end the discussion regarding vocabulary. It remains true that trans females are not women nonetheless. Meh
Really can’t make this stuff up. Insane.
I like the word in Italian–la donna (le donne). Let’s adopt it. End of the “men”-part-of-the-word argument.
Well, it is 🇨🇦 and not 🇺🇲. In preparation for a return of our republic to pre-progressive era policies, I propose we scrub the calendar of all formal observances not in effect before 1900.
“I propose we scrub the calendar of all formal observances not in effect before 1900.”
If your context is Federal holidays (you were not specific) I counter-propose that we go back to before 1870. I don’t see any enumerated power to mandate the observance of such days.
What on earth are you talking about? Why would the federal government need any enumerated power to decide on which days its employees will get a paid day off? It’s inherent in its power to employ people in the first place, and to set all the other terms of their employment. If the fedgov can decide how much to pay its employees, and what hours they should work and where, and whether it will provide free coffee for them or make them pay for it, then it can decide what holidays they will be given.
Or were you under the impression that a federal holiday is something other than a day on which federal employees are given the day off?
Stupid Legal Questions: does the Ontario Human Rights Code require flying a Pride flag, especially upon “request”? Is anything required upon request, regardless of the nature or source of the request? Does a request create a legally enforceable duty to comply or, as here, other legal liability?
Separate from legal considerations, from a strategic perspective actions like the Human Rights Tribunal’s serve mainly, if not only, to further divisiveness and, yes, Professor, rage, as we see.
Unfortunately, Mayor McQuaker’s comment (and I am not stating agreement or disagreement) echoes those made by at least one Commission member in one of the Masterpiece Cakeshop cases in Colorado, and the City Council member in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia. To borrow from the Miranda warnings, anything you say can and will be used against you. Query if they had focused on the flagpole resources issue, would this have occurred.
@GEB “They did bring this on themselves by Electing the Trudeau clan and failing to recognize that the son was as feckless as the father, when it would have seemed obvious.”
Why is that any way different than us electing Obama for a second time? And then following that, us then voting for what is essentially Obama’s Third Term delivered by Biden – on steroids?
Or different than what we are voting for and doing at the state level here in California, New York, Oregon, etc?
A lot of us need to give our heads a shake and then go outside for a breath of fresh air to clear our minds.
At the very least we should be seeing ourselves in the mirror and learn from what is going on in Canada as it is going on around us. There are so many similarities. Trudeau managing to cling to power as a minority government up in Canada is somewhat of a political replica of our political situation down here. There are lessons and stark warnings to be seen here.
Trump is attempting to put together a fractured GOP; the fractured GOP House is going to be just as much a problem in this term as it was his first.
The Canadian conservative party has been repeatedly fractured and rebuilt in the 40 years since the time of Mulroney, who governed in policy harmony with both Reagan and Thatcher at the time, the original Three Amigos. The GOP now is similarly fractured now as compared to Reagan back then. Just as the Canadian conservatives are up north.
Mulroney who won Reagan style majority elections messed up so badly in his last couple of years that their party was reduced to something like only three seats in their Parliament. They didn’t even have political party status. Harper, an economist, put the conservative party back together and managed to stave off the Leninist Liberals and govern for a time before the conservative party split yet again.
Enter Blackface Trudeau, The Son Obama Never Had, elected by defeating Harper on the heels of Canadian media celebrating the election of Obama as the new Messiah.
Obama whose politics you could argue were a re-make of the original Trudeau’s politics who preceded him. Trudeau The First, a former communist and then “progressive” who came to power claiming to be a Prime Minister for all Canadians, a unifier, etc – and who quickly showed how divisive politics can be used to pass a “progressive” agenda. Just like Obama did years later.
Perhaps Obama was Trudeau The First’s illegitimate fourth son, the one HE never had, the one who actually had black skin color instead of blackface as this Trudeau is famous for.
Trudeau has been minority prime minister since his first election only by cutting a deal with the Canadian socialist party: in exchange for them voting with his Liberals to form a combined majority vote in Parliament, Trudeau packaged socialist spending and programs even more socialist than his own into tax and spending legislation. Biden got into office by cutting deals with the likes of Bernie Sanders.
In each election since the initial Trudeau The Second victory, the conservative party has split into different factions, diluting their votes against Trudeau and his Leninist Liberals. In each election one of the conservative party factions has taken more votes than the Liberals and NDP combined. Trudeau is the first Canadian Prime minister in over 150 years to be in power despite having a lower percentage of the popular vote than the leader of their Official Opposition.
And look at Canada now, after a decade of that.
The common thread between Trudeau and Singh agreeing to pool their parties’ votes in Parliament is that both of them were openly admirers of Fidel Castro. Doing so before either was in elected office where some diplomacy and hedging of criticism is required. They are both Marxists in thought and belief – and they know they can get things done by working together, rather than fighting each other politically.
The socialists lead by Trudeau and Singh are no different than the Democrat Borg here in the USA. They will stop fighting each other over their political differences to unit to defeat their common enemy.
Geographically, Canada has the same problem as we do: if a political party rules in a few of the more populated areas, they rule all.
Any Canadian political party that can win Ontario and part of neighboring Quebec, the two most populace provinces, can rule the entire country, no matter how other provinces vote and who they elect.
In the province of Ontario, any provincial party that can win the GTA – the Greater Toronto Area – is going to be running that entire province. Including controlling totalitarian tribunals like this “human rights” Tribunal.
If we don’t see ourselves and how our politics operates here in that Canadian mirror, we are ignoring a lot of stark warnings we shouldn’t have needed watching Canada to see.
@oldairborne dog
I don’t entirely disagree, but we’ve got to drop the calcified definitions of left/right: a great many of us who voted red in November want neither, and stopped believing in that kind of party ideology decades ago. Something to consider, because going forward it’s very likely some formerly traditional concepts are going out the window on both sides (the left just has a head start). Not saying we throw out the baby, but it’s going to be different.
The Constitution, law, and freedom are what we voted for, not conservatism per se; additionally it’s clear the modern left are inextricably entangled with a movement of globalist and elitist fascists hell bent on non-representational rule, it’s also clear they will never cease.
That said, this is not likely to ever be a hard right or ‘Christian’ country again – the religious right is just as much a fringe as the radical left. The *freedom* to be that if one so desires is what we are defending. Anyone expecting a true *hard right* America will likely be disappointed; those days are also gone.
The gloating from many is foolishness; we have a country to fix, and there’s no room for ideologically crusted eyes.
We will have to agree to disagree at times. In an odd sense, one could almost refer the religious right as a special interest group at this point. I’m hoping our mutual principles win most of the time, but it is what it is.
Sorry this ended up so long – rest assured, regardless, I will never vote blue again, as long as I live.
“The Constitution, law, and freedom are what we voted for, not conservatism per se;”
I agree, with some caveats. I am not religious at all. However, the religious right, as you call it, has sought to impose far fewer requirements on my behavior that I would find repugnant than the left/liberal/woke crowd, whatever summary description you wish to use for them. Most members of the religious right seem to be mostly satisfied if they are allowed to exercise their preferences in their own personal lives, without attempting to use government force to compel my agreement and compliance; nearly all of the members of the opposite group want to inflict every single one of their preferences directly on me, and are more than willing to use the State to coerce me to comply. That makes me much more tolerant of religious right folks with whom I disagree. The extremists in the other side are clearly my enemies, by their own conscious choice; I have no time for them, and they are all invited to go off themselves.
@Number6 Agree, but your comment no doubt makes heads pro-abortion heads explode because they claim the religious right are the ones taking away their “choice” and promoting the bans on abortions. Abortion, particularly the “anytime for any reason” kind of “right,” and child mutilation will go down in history (if man survives) as two of the most repugnant acts upon human life other than the Holocaust. Science is not settled on tortuous pain an unborn child experiences, but when it is, I hope we can finally put to rest this horrific practice, at least beyond the point of pain capability.
@Mary: I have mixed thoughts about abortion. I think that a pregnant woman has the right to control her own body to the extent of declining to support a fetus. However, I do not think that right extends to arbitrarily terminating the life of that fetus. Those precepts have many implications that I am not going to take the time to fully explore here. As a practical matter, I am satisfied with Dodd in that it remanded abortion legality issues to the States, which conforms with the Constitution. With variety in the regulation of the practice among those States, a woman has some discretion in regulation of her pregnancy that can be realized by moving or seeking treatment elsewhere, and the residents of those States have the power to change those regulations with their votes. Not perfect, but imo acceptable. Of course, it would be much preferable if any woman who does not want a pregnancy would avoid the issue by means of effective birth control.
@James That said, this is not likely to ever be a hard right or ‘Christian’ country again – the religious right is just as much a fringe as the radical left.
Your regular and vociferous hatred of Christianity and equating it to Marxism pretty much made the entirety of the rest of your post dead on arrival.
If I was from the cult of the Rock Fairy Religion of Atheism, whose primary article of faith is demonstrated their hatred of Christians who don’t share THEIR atheist religion, it might be persuasive. But I’m agnostic, so the whole thing collapses when it gets put out on display.
I find atheists and their “separation of church and state” BS arguments not found in the Constitution to be a bigger problem and pain in the ass than any “hard right Christian” like a devout Christian baker who refuses to bake a cake to celebrate homosexuality.
This says it all–>
“There’s no flag being flown for the other side of the coin … there’s no flags being flown for the straight people.”
Ontario is a province. This is not the national govenment in Ottawa.
So what?
Saskatchewan is the only Canadian province that does not have a human rights tribunal. Instead, the superior trial court of the province adjudicates human rights claims.
You’re one of the fvcking idiots that said there is no such thing as human rights. So how do these “tribunals” exist at all?
Rivastigmine Davey. Please take it.
Canada, and Ontario, are run by a bunch of neutered males and marxist women – it is the complete opposite of a US run democrat city, except for the part where both are completely unlivable.
“Canada, and Ontario, are run by a bunch of neutered males and marxist women”
Pretty much like America while Obama was president and our states like Washington, Oregon, Michigan, etc all had Marxist Birthing Persons as governors.
Almost like both countries have the same disease.
@Oldairbornedog We are both progeny of another county in the throes of imposing totalitarian laws penalizing “impure” thoughts as defined by the regime. I suppose it’s in our DNA, sadly so.
“Ontario is a province. This is not the national govenment in Ottawa.”
Yeah, it’s kind of like Washington, Oregon, California are even worse than Washington DC.
Bake the homos a cake. Hoist the homos flag. Highjack schools to promote homosexuality to your kids. Give the homos a whole month to celebrate their sexual perversions. Castrate your boys and call them girls.
But it’s crazy talk to say there is a homo agenda.
I do feel sorry for the people of Canada who I find to be a generally nice group of people and good neighbors. They did bring this on themselves by Electing the Trudeau clan and failing to recognize that the son was as feckless as the father, when it would have seemed obvious.
I would hope that they rectify this next year and sweep Trudeau out of office and hopefully out of mind.
Remembrance Day is for those who actually accomplished something for Canada, while risking life and severe injury. Pride month is not an accomplishment. It is a statement that they exist. Alright we know that and so it’s time to remove Pride Month totally and return to days and months named for those who accomplished and risked for Canada and not simply noting that a certain subgroup of people were born and still exist. They’re too loud to ignore so why do they need a month.
This Ontario Human Rights Tribunal seems to have the same people and mindset as that Commission in Colorado which thinks it has the right to legislate bake shops and who they can serve.
I think I would trade the people of Emo for Alec Baldwin and his Clan and Ellen Degeneres and her household.
And lastly if a Flagpole is required and the pride flag must be flown I can think of many indelicate ways to display that flag.
GEB,
Well said!
I would like to see the people of Emo pass a Common Sense month and display that flag over the pride flag.
@OldFish: exactly!
First it was “Please tolerate us”.
Then it was “Please accept us”.
Then it was “Please celebrate us”.
And now it’s “If you don’t do what we order you to do, we will destroy you!”
The initial request from the Alphabet Sex Pride Tribe begging for tolerance seemed so unquestionably reasonable at that time in our society. And now look where we are. Now they will not tolerate YOU.
Cultural Marxism/communism is just as totalitarian and dangerous as the economic and political tentacles of Marx’s communist theology.
How would anyone who has read Marx’s writings about how existing social structures and norms must be destroyed to allow communism to replace existing governments be surprised that the end result is that it results in tearing at the load bearing foundations of any civil society?
