It's absolutely outrageous. My wife is an assistant library administrator. I'm worried for her all the time. If these assholes don't get their way when it comes to libraries in a legal manner, I'm terrified of what they'll try to do to get their way.
Agreed, I'm just saying this is especially egregious. It would be like (although this would be illegal) firing a black person because of a black history display.
This is like that episode of Parks and Rec where Leslie married the penguins because it was cute, later to find out there were both boys, this making her action a political statement. People are fucking stupid, that person who complained could have easily looked it up after being informed of what the symbol meant. The board deserves to be sued for their shit decision. Who decides not to sponsor a parade because one of the floats is for pride? Sounds to me like the board is the one with the agenda.
This is all kinds of stupid. Not only are these folk openly bigoted, they don’t care whether their bigotry is misapplied from their stated target. They just want to hate somebody.
Even if it were a gender thing, that's still discrimination in the UK, you can't sack people over that here.
Madness. They're going mental over there. I hope they can purge these fascists before the fascists purge them, because gods knows they're working towards it.
