The LGBT and Jewish community are forever intertwined together because of one of the greatest atrocities committed by man. It was supporters of the Jewish people who not only helped Jews escape the Nazis but targeted homosexuals as well. We as a community have a shared trauma with the Jewish people. To not recognize that and to say that you can't fly the Jewish Star of David is not only anti semitic , but insulting to the thousands of homosexuals who died alongside the Jewish people in the Holocaust. It's loving bullshit and absofuckinglutely outrageous that someone using the Jewish Star of David on a Rainbow Flag would be asked to take that down.

Also if you read the LGB thread in GBS, according to a couple of people who were there, everyone at that march who was using a star of david on a rainbow flag to express being gay and jewish was thrown out, not just the one pro-Israel person.

I could see it as making sense if someone was straight up carrying the actual Israel flag with no changes. But nobody seems to have done that.

The only photos I've seen of the actual flags in question (as opposed to stock photos from other Jewish LGBT events) clearly have a blue Star of David.

Just a blue star of david on its own or on a flag isn't the flag of Israel. Just like having some stripes and some stars doesn't mean you got a flag of the US.

Hartford Pride starts on the 6th (http://www.hartfordpride.com/) and New Haven Pride doesn't even have a set date yet. Mainly because its a much smaller thing that's only been going for a couple of years. A fer of the other towns also hold their own Pride things but their small scale as well.

Richmond does the same thing for some weird reason. I think like Connecticut it's to avoid conflict with major big-time Pride events, in our case DC Pride.

Too drat hot and it rains almost every day between May and September. The town I grew up in had Pride in February.

The question now is will the SCOTUS just kill marriage equality going forward or will they retroactively void existing marriages, and even if they allow marriages to stand will they allow the government to ignore them re: benefits.

Kennedy is absolutely not going to burnish his legacy with conservatives by overturning himself, Jesus Christ. I understand that this is your thing but nothing that you have suggested is in anyway how the Supreme Court works. You should start worrying when one of the liberal justices or Kennedy dies, or retires, and is successfully replaced by a Republican president. Not before.

Gorsuch implicitly accepted Obergefell as state decisis in his dissent to the Arkansas smackdown earlier this week. And to second Quorum, as a judge appointed for life who has and will continue to make is own history, Kennedy doesn't give a rat's rear end about what some congressman in 2017 could say (but who couldn't actually do diddly-squat to Kennedy)

CommieGIR posted:http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovemen...ite_sex_couples Digging into this a bit, it appears the Texas court received a whole bunch of postcards, emails, etc. from shithead bigots, which they decided to treat as amicus briefs. Totally-not-coincidentally, Texas elects its Supreme Court justices instead of appointing them, and their re-election comes up shortly.

Yeah it's the ultimate semantic legal argument. " The Supreme Court said they could have marriage licenses not any of the benefits of marriage".
