I had to work hard to keep the bile down when I read this news story about something that went down at Washington Park here in Albany. So what has me so disgusted? A bunch of clowns got together and raised the LGBT rainbow flag on public ground!
Look, it’s one thing to condone that filth on private property. Doing so still appalls me, but it would be private land, so whatever. But to do this on public property is unacceptable. There is no excuse for these back door shenanigans!
What makes even worse is that public Albany officials, including the mayor, showed up to show their support. That is not what they should be using their influence for: to make people think that this is in any way acceptable behavior!
No, what happened was not illegal, as long as they got the proper permits. But it’s absolutely detestable, isn’t it? Yes, it is.
This should be enough to make anyone sick!
