No problem with that.However flying a flag designating their preference has no place on public property as it is a special interest group, not a national- or state-affiliated symbol.Christians or any other ethnic group are not allowed to fly their flag or put their symbols up. Why such outrage over one special group of people?Yes, we are all people who want to be accepted. We all cannot fly special flags on school property to be acknowledged.

By Ariane de Vogue | CNNJustice Clarence Thomas attended a private dinner in 2018 during a winter donor summit of the Koch network, the political organization founded by libertarian billionaires Charles and David Koch, ProPublica reported Friday.Thomas attended Koch donor events at least twice over the years, according to interviews with three former Koch network employees and one major donor conducted by ProPublica.
