Obama had no right to put gay flag on White House

Tolerance means people who “disagree” about “right and wrong” can have a peaceful discussion. Nowadays “tolerance” is being used to mean “equality” to silence the American people.

The American flag isn’t about a particular group of people. Those Stars and Stripes represent an entire nation. I don’t remember “We the People” giving President Obama the authority to light up a rainbow flag on the White House.

The American flag is not just an old “antique” of an earlier era; neither is marriage. Does the president believe the American flag no longer applies so he raised another? Does the Supreme Court have that authority? All of this is very wrong.
