Why an upside-down rainbow flag is dangerous for LGBT people

[madamesilverspurs]

At a rally in Greeley Sunday night, moments after taking the stage, Donald Trump unfurled a large rainbow flag with the words “LGBTs for Trump” scribbled on it. That awkward and superficial appeal was made all the more absurd, and meaningful, by the fact that he was holding the flag upside down.

Upside down flags have been used traditionally to communicate danger or distress. And Trump’s stunt, clearly choreographed by his campaign as a plea for support to LGBT people, was actually another reminder of the threat his candidacy represents to LGBT equality.

1. Here's the pic

I heard Trump few days ago lamenting the recent attack on lgbts. Next sentence, he then went right into how dangerous the Syrian refugees are that Clinton wants to let in. How refugees correlate w/ the dangerous bigots, which, BTW, are a majority of his supporters, is a mystery to anyone who hasn't drunk the snakeoil his cult uses to destroy the rational part of their brains.

6. Whoa, look at that professional-looking prop

"Crude" doesn't quite begin to describe the scribbling on that flag. I wonder how much the campaign will pay to reimburse the candidate for this half-assed piece of crap?

2. You need to slap

Cortana around it's stupid ears and explain that it's your machine and you can do whatever you damn well like with it.
