Rising Tensions: Flags Burned in Iraq’s Karbala Amid Controversy over Freedom of Expression
Karbala, Iraq – The city of Karbala in Iraq witnessed a disturbing escalation of tensions as flags, including the Swedish national flag and the LGBT flag, were burned in protest.

The US SC held in 1989 that burning the US flag as a protest is permissible under the First Amendment as an expression of free speech.
We're not the only country that values free speech, you know.

This special flag is multinational, multilingual, and multisexual - but only for those special people with
very special sexual preferences. And the most special ones of all are the ones that dress like Rodeo Clowns

LGBTQ community.
Baffles me, you’d think the rainbow flag would be a common ground icon, but seemingly, like countries, every different group likes their own little flag.
The only flags I really think are acceptable are Canadian flags on backpackers backpacks. As one Canadian once explained to me: “It’s just to make sure people know I’m not American.”

As I have been saying all along, these activists are just looking for attention, that's all.
I wonder, do the Kardashians have a flag? 🤔 🤔 🤔
