“Our city recently raised the heterosexual promiscuity flag over City Hall, a small yet important symbol of San Jose’s commitment to the Breeder community.”

. . .

“As the flags rose on that warm afternoon, I kept thinking of just how well our local breeder organizations embody the greater meaning behind these flags.”

. . .

“Each color signifies an idea. Black symbolizes lingerie. White symbolizes white lingerie.”

“The Breeder community has tirelessly fought for visibility, acceptance, and rights. Unfortunately, there have been few victories over the last five decades.”

In the oh so enlightened City of San Jose, LGBTQ citizens are now “more equal” than the rest of us schmoes.
You’re gay? You’re transgender? Ooh, we really want to hear what your concerns are. You’re NOT gay? You’re NOT transgender? You want to tell us your concerns? Get in line!

Lord Nelson hoisted flags on his ships to send action messages to the officers and men of his fleet. What messages are the crew of City Hall supposed to get from their LGBTQ flags?
