The Satanic Temple in Massachusetts is requesting that Boston fly its flag, after the Supreme Court ruled this week that the city had violated the First Amendment rights of a Christian group when it denied them flying their flag outside of City Hall.
According to a copy of the request tweeted by The Satanic Temple, the group is asking Boston to fly the flag for “Satanic Appreciation Week” on July 23-29. The Satanic Temple said its request was in response to the recent ruling.
A nice idea and effort BUT is it not merely a bit of a Pissing Contest ?
I.e. We want OUR flag to be flapping in the wind at the same places and heights above the grounds as everyone else's.
Imo, IF you want to and are GOING to leave a mark, do something that the other lot have NOT already done, i.e. out-stage them completely.
Maybe I should change my mascot from bear to goat.
CapraeMajor? I don't know...it doesn't have the same ring to it...
Maybe the christians will take their flag down so the satanist can't fly one.
Too late!
I it!
The Satanic Temple is my favorite.
