From the American Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
It seems to me that being gay can be construed as pursuing one's "Happiness", no? It's therefore quite American. So why wasn't even one American flag in evidence celebrating this fact this past Sunday (6/2) at the Pride parade in Jackson Heights?
Parade founder and current NYC Councilman Danny Dromm: this glaring omission is a public relations failure. Check out the following photos: the gay rainbow flag and now even the pink, blue, and white-striped transgender flag were seen all over the place. Even an Irish and Puerto Rican flag were seen prominently visible. And the Columbian flag is also frequently seen on the transgender saloon floats.
So why was the Stars and Stripes missing? Is it because of parade participants' shame or ignorance? A supercilious attitude? Or what?
