It’s an outrage! Rainbow flag hoisted in full view of America’s Family Foundation
IN SUPPORT of President Obama’s declaration that June is to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond, Virginia, has hoisted a rainbow flag outside its headquarters. According to this report, Obama is:

Perhaps the most pro-homosexual president in US history.

The rainbow has outraged the Family Foundation. This dotty “family values” outfit has a new office in Richmond which offers “a beautiful view of the state capitol and the flags” – now utterly ruined by the inclusion of the rainbow flag.

Wailed Foundation President Victoria Cobb:

Our expectation is it’ll be flying all month … We think the Federal Reserve ought to be focused on the economy rather than focusing on special rights.

"We think the Federal Reserve ought to be focused on the economy rather than focusing on special rights."

I think she means "...rather than focusing on special rights unless we are the ones asking for them."

3. What special rights?
The GLBT community would like to have EQUAL rights.
