To celebrate Pride Month in Colorado, the state GOP issued a fatwa and called for the burning of all Pride flags. As one might expect, this bit of branded extremism has not gone over well, even among Log Cabin Republicans, a group which "advocates for equal rights for LGBT+ Americans." Source: 9News, Denver COLORADO, USA — The Colorado Republican Party marked the start of Pride Month with a mass email attacking “godless groomers” and a social media post calling for the burning of all Pride flags. The state GOP’s move to the far right after a series of electoral blowout losses continued with some of its harshest anti-gay rhetoric in recent years. The Colorado GOP’s mass email titled “God Hates Pride,” read, in part, “The month of June has arrived and, once again, the godless groomers in our society want to attack what is decent, holy, and righteous so they can ultimately harm our children.” The message to Colorado Republicans was headlined with an image reading “God Hates Flags,” a nod to the anti-gay slur on the picket signs of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church.read more
