Related: About this forumThe New York Young Republicans Are Worried The Country Is Becoming The 'United States Of Gaymeria'
by HUNTER WALKER
William Palumbo, the head of "Blog" at the New York Young Republican Club, was dismayed when a friend sent him a photo of rainbow gay pride flags hanging from the U.S. Embassy in London last month.
He responded by writing a post on the club's website where he wondered, among other things, whether someone should be impeached for flying the rainbow flag and whether the nation is becoming "The United States Of Gaymeria."
"Can I pose a serious question? At what point does replacing the American flag with the rainbow flag, a symbol of gay/LGBTQ(RSTUVWXYZ) pride from embassies abroad become an impeachable offense in itself?" Palumbo asked, adding, "Last time I checked, the official flag of the country was the Stars and Stripes, not the same rainbow that is found on the doors of gay bars downtown."
Palumbo argued the flag should not have been on the embassy because it represents a "stateless movement."

Thankfully it appears there are fewer young nuts in that party but there are enough to make trouble.

She was constantly taking on the Young Republicans on many issues. It got so bad with a couple of them that she had to contact Administration because they were sending her death threats in emails.

with their stupid friends, trying to trump each other in dismissing any and all complaints from those affiliated with Democrats and liberals.

Sounds positively dreadful. Poor things must feel so out of place among their peers.

NYYRC Blog, 14 July 2014
Over the past few days, the New York Young Republicans have received numerous calls for comments after a post written by William Palumbo, entitled The United States of Gaymeria [sic] appeared on the NYYRC blog. This post claimed, among other things, that President Obama was part of a homosexual cabal and engaged in an extra-marital affair with the Emir of Qatar.
The offending post has since been removed, and Mr. Palumbo resigned his position with the NYYRC on July 1.
Never more so than now, the NYYRC leadership wishes to remind everyone that at the bottom of every blog post on our site, after the title is clicked the blog includes the following:
DISCLAIMER: This post and the contents thereof are the views of only the author identified immediately above and do not necessarily represent the views of the New York Young Republican Club (the NYYRC), its officers or its members. The NYYRC expressly disclaims responsibility for the contents thereof and by its charter documents may not, and does not, endorse any candidate for any office, except in a general election.
