    This whole thing stinks of culture war boogie man bait…

    There is no legit source for this story, aside from some conservative blogger(?) and a random Facebook post.

    Nobody is going to say literally that they feel triggered. That’s an inflammatory term used to insult anybody on the opposite side of an argument…

    Lame.

      Even if the source is legit, it boils down to 'gay people told flag-wearing patriots they felt uncomfortable having them around".

      Like…so what? Why does this matter in the first place? The Borderline Dance team left to play into the persecution fetish of conservatives.

        In conservative culture it helps push the “gays hate my country” narrative. Which to anybody with common sense is obviously not what it means, but it fuels that fire.

              There were multiple dance groups. Two were not permitted to perform. I find it odd they ban flag apperal at a country dance. Of all places you’d expect that

            But being real, if you’re scared of the flag of the country you live in, and those who fly it, shouldnt you apply for asylum in a different country at that point?

        Two teams. It’s in the article.

        It’s weird to have country dance group and not expect to see the American flag. The two go hand in hand
