Being gay and/or supporting the gay community os not political; it's basic human decency.

BTW For being a straight white guy I settled my “gay problem” years ago. I don’t have

This is just bigotry. End of story.

He hates pride flags and so firing someone who has one falls under that Divine Right.

Meanwhile, on every US agency and and department website is a message that blatantly partisan and political. THAT is a Hatch Act violation. Again, the only thing these people have is projection.
