And this thread started because someone said the rainbow flag was outside OSC below the American flag. I personally think that spot is reserved for certain things like the state flag or the POW/MIA flag. Flags that serve the vast majority, not a small miniority. Otherwise, you’re promoting that group or lifestyle above all others. That’s fine in certain venues, but not on a pole below the American flag.
Because what you aren't agreeing with isn't the persons "lifestyle", it's them. It's who they are. It's like saying you don't agree with being hispanic. The flag isn't "promoting" a lifestyle. It's solidarity for a group of discriminated against people who number far more than all 20th century POWs combined.
