GAY TRUTH

The city of Boston allows any group to schedule an event at the city council plaza and fly their flag next to the American flag . Any kind of group, that is, unless the group or flag is Christian. Gay “pride” flags, transgender flags , Chinese Progressive Association flags, National Juneteenth Observance Foundation flags, and the national flags of any country, including communist countries, have flown over City Hall.
