Republicans In The U.S. Want To Ban Trans Flag From Flying In Public Buildings
Iowa Republican lawmakers have introduced a bill only allowing the American and Iowa flags to be able to raised over public buildings, including schools. The bill comes after a trans flag was seen raised at the Iowa Capitol building, reports ‘Daily Gaming World’. The trans flag was raised after the LGBT+ Iowa Safe Schools organisation requested it.
Senator Jake Chapman, who introduced the bill along with Senator Roby Smith, said raising the trans flag was “completely disrespectful to the brave men and women who served in the military.”
“I have heard from many voters who are very concerned about the precedent that is being created,” he added.
“From what I understand, some internal policies may have been violated during this demonstration, but I think it is important that at least my constituents know that we are taking this seriously. This is what the flag represents and the fact that it was removed and another flag was flown instead of the American flag and the Iowa flag and the POW / MIA flag, I think a lot of Iowans find this very offensive.”
