    Of course just the south, that’s who the flag represented, it didn’t represent Californians. And POC fought for the south.

    it represents all of the south as it was back in the day. Are you saying the rainbow flag wont represent me unless I cut my dick off, or the blm flag won’t represent me unless get a severe sunburn?

    Why don’t you ask southerners how they feel about the flag including black folks.

    There is a big difference between something being a mental disorder and not being a mental disorder.

    Everything is a man made term. You could call an airplane a boat if you'd like. But we would all call you an idiot.

    Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder. That's what it is. And science shouldn't be swayed from reality to spare feelings. Once you do that you only destroy your own credibility.

    But only the south and “back in the day” was not the south pro-slavery?? As for the LGBTQI flag the reason it is. Rainbow is to represent the spectrum of gender identity which does include “straight” people

    Ummmm.....it was the Africans who were pro slavery and it was an African who was America's first slave owner.

    You still all for promoting African culture?

    A certain Australian seems to not know the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to the South. If the war was truly fought over slavery (as the bullshit liberal narrative goes), you would think the Union/President Lincoln would have also banned slavery in the North. Seems the North was "pro slavery".

    But as you know Steve, the race card is their go-to.

    Meh! I am going off what I have heard discussed about why the confederate flag is not considered inclusive of all people. Sometimes it is more about perception. Which is why you will often see official Australian sites flying not one but three flags

    Any idea how much Australia has been culturally enriched by the culture of Africa?

    Displaying a Confederate flag in class to show Southern youth that they are welcome is not imposing a personal belief on anyone.

    It's only inclusive of those who are not heterosexual. As someone who has a heterosexual alignment it does not represent me at all

    Except for the fact that slavery IS why the south was fighting.

    Yeah? Then we will have a wall full of flags. Hey, my grandpa is from Costa Rica, let's put the flag there. Hey, I am a fan of Liverpool FC, I want to see a flag on the wall, it's cool. Hey, I am a boyscout, let's put our flag in the classroom. Hey, I like Slipknot, lets put a big banner here. I like Manga, I want a flag to represent me...

    Where does it stop? As I sad - bloody favoritism! You favor someone, then everybody else feels belittled.
    It's all wrong.

    Unfortunately, the Confederate flag comes with too much baggage.

    If they're harassing LGBTQ+ students, their behavior is unaccaptable.

    None. I leave Australians to opine on their own country since it's none of my business. Maybe they ought to do the same.

    That's nothing but a subjective opinion and I could say the same thing about the rainbow flag
