I will be calling my representatives and letting them know that I would sooner see the government shutdown than see any of these proposals become law.

A ban on pride flags? Really? You're scared of some fabric or colors?

Grow up and mind your damn business. We're just trying to live our own lives. Fuck

Where do you see a ban on pride flags? I read the letter published by the House Freedom Caucus and didn't see mention of flags.

It doesn't appear in the letter, but is mentioned in the article. The letter also states that there are "more" policies that need to be defunded.

These policies encompass bans on pride flags, prohibitions on insurance coverage, restrictions on DEI programs, and even the defunding of children’s hospitals that offer gender-affirming care.

Not that I don't believe you, but is there official documentation showing details on the "more policies" mentioned at the end of the letter? I prefer to read policies verbatim.

I can't say where Erin is pulling the pride flags bit from. Ive found this about Florida wanting to ban pride flags from government buildings and schools.

I would appreciate that link, too. Although the article contains one line that mentions banning Pride flags, I haven’t found anything that indicates Pride flags are being singled out in the congressional tantrum manifesto.
