But can you have one of those "In this house we believe science is real, Black Lives Matter, America is racist, etc etc" signs? It means the same thing, basically

An HOA enforcing the rules of their neighborhood is news? KXAN is trying too hard.

Just saw that.

1) Mischaracterised the request from HOA. 2) Played victims and want special treatment.

Couple reads HOA agreement.

Couple finds a way to violate it with a virtue signal.

HOA enforces long standing rules.

Couple feigns victimhood and runs to the media to get their 15 minutes.

15 minutes shows up on Texags and Couple now has 16 minutes.

They just want to be married. Nobody is coming for your culture. Stop being so paranoid. It's just a flag. And most importantly, why do you even care?

Did I hit all the main points?

Now the couple plans on asking neighbors to sign a petition, with hopes of being able to change the rules to be more supportive and inclusive.

They have also asked for a formal review of the rules.

"We don't have any interest in breaking the rules, but we do have interest in changing the rules," Colligan said."


This is followed by:

Quote:
" Per the property management's notice, Colligan and Rivas will have until June 25 to take the flag down, or could otherwise face fines.

But they told KXAN they plan to keep their flag flying bright, inspite of the consequences. "


So, they have no interest in breaking the rules.

They just have no intentions of following the rules.

Makes sense.

They can be married, they can adopt kids, they may get to fly their flag, but at the end of the day they are still set apart, even liberals will call them a "gay couple" which sets them apart. Laws and tolerance cannot overcome the fact that they are way different than an overwhelming majority of the world. You can see it with your eyes, just like you can see different colors of skin and hair.

This is so awful. How will the random people that drive by know that they are gay?
It's not the severity of the punishment that deters crime; it's the certainty of it.

Our hoa put some house on notice for hanging a US flag on a tree. Hilarity ensued on the neighborhood Facebook page. Wish I could read this hoa's dirty laundry

Maybe don't put your symbol on a street if you don't want it constantly run over by vehicles drivibg on that street?

How does one divine the motivations of the driver? Are the beholders omniscient? What if the dude just dislikes crosswalks generally, or dislikes rainbow colors, or isn't a fan of Hawaii, or drives like that all the time?

When I was a teen, I left "gestures of hate" all over my hometown! We must have been a hate filled town. Chevy 409 and Ford 427....symbols of hate?

HOAs generally suck.

You get some people on a power trip and they can make your life hell. As long as it is not being overly "in your face," if someone wants to fly a Trump Flag or a Rainbow flag, what's the big deal?

Yes, and unfortunately this constant pushing works. That is why we are where we are now as a country.
