Very proud of WI Governor Tony Evers

For the first time, the rainbow gay pride flag is flying over the state capitol in Madison for the month of June in honor of Gay Pride Month. Of course, the right wingers are already spouting off. Read this news release from Wisconsin Family Action here:

Excerpts:

“The state capitol is a place representing all Wisconsin citizens. Singling out one group that has inordinate
political power is wrong and is disrespectful to, at a minimum, those who take exception to the LGBT agenda."

“This is a governor who is apparently bought and paid for by extreme groups such as Planned Parenthood and
the so-called ‘equality’ groups. In the last few weeks the Governor has said he will veto pro-life bills, including
one that requires medical personnel to treat a baby who has survived an abortion just as they would any baby
born alive. Now he is authorizing flying over the state capitol, the ‘equality’ groups’ Rainbow Pride Flag, a flag
that does not represent the vast majority of Wisconsin citizens. Wisconsin citizens deserve better from their
governor.”

and there was a picture of tRUMP and his enablers, including the reTHUG National and State
politicians. I didn't hear any reTHUG complaints when Scott Walker was cramming the Reich-Wing agenda down the throats of the good people of Wisconsin...
