Pride flag = to American flag?

Man, this really fills me with rage and it's going to have a very negative effect on my life on a personal level. 

Schumer Pushes Bill to Make the LGBTQ Pride Flag Equal to the American Flag

Excerpt:

In one of the most insulting moves ever, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is introducing legislation to make the LGBTQ pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol, giving it the same federal protections as the U.S. flag, military flags, and POW/MIA flags.

Chuck Schumer wants the pride flag to have the same status as Old Glory and the flags honoring those who served and sacrificed for this country.

Schumer's legislative push comes in direct response to the Trump administration's removal of the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument outside the Stonewall Inn earlier this month. The Stonewall Inn is the site of a 1969 clash between police and patrons at the gay bar, an event widely considered the birth of the gay rights movement.

"Stonewall is sacred ground and Congress must act now to permanently protect the Pride flag and what it stands for," Schumer declared, adding that "Trump's hateful crusade must end."

The pride flag was removed following an internal memo from the Department of the Interior ordering "non-agency" flags at national parks be removed. The memo stated clearly that "only the U.S. Flag, flags of the DOI, and the POW/MIA flag will be flown by the NPS in public spaces where the NPS is responsible for the upkeep, maintenance, and operation of the flag and flagpole."

I have some friends in NYC who visited Stonewall recently, and they were leas than pleased that the pride flag had been removed.

Trump has probably lost their vote.
