Comment on Seattle dance squad says they were told American flag shirts made audience members feel 'triggered and unsafe'

  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.

  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

  Why would gay people be uncomfortable with the American flag?

    It’s not the flag, it’s the flag bearers.

      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?

      If they didnt like the dance squad, why did they go see them?

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