flags or respect and tolerance are banned. flags for hate and bigotry only!
Smallfuzzycreaturefromalphacentauri
It’s amusing how the American far right loves to scream freedom of speech and then wants to ban it. Fascist yanks need to read their oh so sacred constitution, But I guess most far right types are illiterate thanks to education funding cuts

You need to clean up in that fucked up country. Seriously, you need to fuck up bigoted people and put them into the fucking black little medieval holes they crawled out off. Punch a nazi. Fuck up a bigot.

Exit, voice, loyalty are the only 3 options. 2 and 3 aren't working so...

Does it apply to ALL pride flags? Does it include the MAGA and T Cult flags?

Oklahoma is just Wannabe Texas in all the worst ways.

Sorry, not sorry, but my brain just saw "OK IS OK" written in black and now I cannot unsee it.

BAN FLAGS??

As a cis male I can’t even begin to comprehend how challenging it must be to not feel comfortable in your own skin and go through a journey where you realize that you are not your assigned gender, and to go through coming out as trans so you can finally embrace who you truly are. That must take a lot of courage on its own. But to then have the state turn around and pull this shit? The word “despair” likely doesn’t even come close. This is heartbreaking. I’m sorry to everyone affected by this.

Time to leave OK then.

Well then when they come to take it from your front window, be sure to exercise your 2a rights to protect your 1a rights.

A couple I used to love went to the j6 Insurrection and brought their baby. One year later they had moved to Oklahoma. They love it. I bet they voted for this 100%.
wario37
Yeah, the flag is the lesser problem there.

Would all rainbows be illegal or just the ones shaped in a rectangle? FFS

Seeing trump flags push me towards feelings of despair.

It’s always darkest just before the dawn. Don’t let them steal your hope. When things are the worst, hope is sometimes all that helps keep you going. Change will come, we just need to fight for it (hopefully metaphorically more than literally). Help me get elected (simply by telling others about my campaign and helping spread hope) and I will do everything in my power to reclaim this country from the brink of collapse. Patsy 2028, dealing in hope!

Christians want LGBTQ people yo commit suicide. Especially children.
happyrabbitzz
Having grown up in OK I am very comfortable in saying it is a shithole. Amazingly friendly people, but still a shithole.
MajorNikon
Making the most shitholliest of states even more shithollier.
choppedliveraldente
Even worse then Arizona or new Mexico. Missiery even. Ala fucking bama. At least they are pretty and have good food. Idk abouts Missouris food tho.
bobisslack
Paint your gun trans pride colors. They wouldn't ban one of those.

So it's just Lahoma now, aye?

Fuck those religious fanatics. Cultist all of them.

Oklahoma should focus more on repairing its crumbling roads and bridges than on gay issues that aren’t problems.
RARusk
The cruelty is the point. Always.

They want every transgender person either back in the closet or (ideally in their view) in the ground.

Log Cabin Republicans: Don’t hate them, pity them https://epgn.com/2024/10/22/log-cabin-republicans-dont-hate-them-pity-them/ this is the nicest article i could find on the fake LGBTQ republicans
Timesarrows
not just TQ the christian gop want to kill off LGB also. yet every election cycle in the last 40 years the corporate media drags on 1000s of LGBTQ Pro Republicans. i feel i live in a simulation because it seems i'm the only one that noticed? republicans want to kill off all LGBTQ and we're supposed to believe their r LGBTQ gop? is everyone nuts? the media should be calling them liars and shills and not allow them on TV. https://www.them.us/story/catholic-leaders-fought-national-suicide-hotline

If they ban the pride flag illegal, im putting 3 on my car and fly one in my back yard. Fuck this state.
livelongandprosper1970
Just ordered 3 new pride flags. Fuck this state.

Jeff Bezos thanks you for really really sticking it to The Man.
LateNightBunnyParty
Fuck. This. State.
EricAirheart
Hopefully enough people are pissed off the 12% different in the election he got elected swap sides
chr155ter
do it anyway, no need to wait for it to be banned
DoctorDoctorG
Holla! I’m here too and stuck here bc of family stuff. This place is a shithole.
EricAirheart
At least we are in this shithole together, right?
livelongandprosper1970
Right. Like ticks on a dogs ass.
TheSlouchOfBethlehem
the ban is on state agencies flying it
beez428
Time for some baby-grade Project Mayhem, then: this week, your assignment is to plaster as many gov buildings (& their flag poles, I guess) with pride flags as possible.
HelloCaspar
I think I'm ready for a baby-grade Project Mayhem.
mcoulter876
If you read the article, the flag-banning is limited to government institutions. Had OP included this instead of posting bias, you would've known this without the extra step you chose not to take.
livelongandprosper1970
Extra pride flags don’t hurt and we can put pride flag stickers on the flag poles.
EricAirheart
Still not going to stop us from showing support
mcoulter876
lol! That's not the point, cupcake. Jfc learn to read.
EricAirheart
Are you 9? You sound 9yo. I help elementary school age kids in the library and you sound exactly like this 9yo that comes in. Is this you, Brett? Do I need to email your mom again?
MaybeIllDisappear
You can fly the nazi flag in Oklahoma but not a pride flag. This country is fucked.
MissSiesta
Then unfuck it.
MyFatBaby
Its just govt institutions that can't fly it. Banning citizens from flying a flag would be a comically egregious violation of freedom of speech. But don't put it past those morons to try it one day
Swk62
Shithole
mcoulter876
Did you read the article?
MeowMachine12
What did the article say that contradicts what they said?
mcoulter876
The article specifically states the ban is limited to government institutions and these knee-jerk Imgurians are crying because they assume it means otherwise. It's voluntary ignorance.
MaybeIllDisappear
No, I actually looked at Oklahoma's laws. There is nothing about flying MAGA or the swastika flags, but now there are laws specifically regarding pride flags.
