Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) woke up after a bad weekend’s worth of sleep this morning and complained on Twitter about how D.C. Pride revelers kept her up all night.
“These were my thoughts this morning after hearing the DC Pride events rage late into the night,” she wrote on Twitter at 10:45 a.m. today. “Sodom and Gomorrah in modern day times.”

“It’s not bad for kids to see there are different people out in the world.”
She quoted a tweet from her congressional account that denounced the “sexualization of our children.” By linking the two statements, she apparently was trying to compare Pride to child sex trafficking.

Greene wasn’t the only person on the right outraged by the Pride festivities in D.C. Many took to social media to denounce the White House for hanging a Progress Pride flag next to American flags for their Pride celebration.
Rep Mike Johnson (R-LA) even tried to say that the Pride flag was a violation of the flag code because the American flag wasn’t higher than the Pride flag. An American flag flies higher than any other flag at the White House since there’s one on the roof, something that Johnson didn’t show in his conveniently cropped photos.
Pursuing his twisted agenda, Biden dishonors the American flag and breaks federal law.

On Twitter, people mocked Greene, Johnson, and others who were upset that the nation’s capital celebrated LGBTQ+ Pride.
If you are more angry about a pride flag being put on the White House than about insurrectionists literally smearing shit on the walls of Congress while waving a treasonous flag … You are the problem.

Actually, Tim Whoever you are, MOST Americans DO support LGBTQ citizens’ rights and their flag. Live and let live. And the Pride flag was not flown over the flag of our country. Not if you see a full image of the setting. No flag flies higher than Old Glory on the White House. pic.twitter.com/2aABwSsBEZ

You are the last person who should be speaking about Sodom and Gomorrah

Rep Greene makes a post about child sex trafficking, a deeply serious issue.
Then follows up to say that the reason she made that post was because individuals who have nothing to do with sex trafficking were celebrating pride, inclusivity, acceptance and happiness last night.…

Of course you don’t get the Sodom and Gomorrah story right. It wasn’t about homosexuality.

Your obsession with gay people is a pure hate and madness. You are need to be in psychiatric hospital, not in Congress

Hey Mike, maybe Merrick Garland will appoint a Special Prosecutor to look into the Joe Biden Flag-gate.
And your pal Marjorie Taylor Greene can draft articles of impeachment.
Jim Jordan can produce an inside ‘whistleblower’. Fire off some subpoenas.
Y’all a bunch of clowns.

The actual code without the end removed btw:
(e) The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.
