Two members of a Detroit-area human relations commission have been removed for raising a LGBTQ+ flag on a publicly owned flagpole that city officials said violated a recently passed resolution. Commission Chair Russ Gordon and member Catrina Stackpoole were terminated Tuesday following a unanimous vote by the Hamtramck All-Muslim City Council, which the commission falls under.
Daily Mail(h/t Nita) A Michigan city with an all-Muslim council that made waves banning LGBTQ+ Pride flags on public buildings has removed two members of a city commission for breaking the new law.
Heavily Muslim Hamtramck, population 27,000, is an enclave surrounded by Detroit. More than 40 percent of residents were born in other countries, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and a significant share are of Yemeni or Bangladeshi descent.
It became the first city in America to have a majority Muslim population in 2015 and in January 2022, became the first to have an all-Muslim city council and Muslim mayor in Amer Ghalib.
On Tuesday, the council unanimously approved removing Russ Gordon and Cathy Stackpoole from the Hamtramck Human Rights Commission for flying the rainbow flag over a public sidewalk, with a member saying they ‘defied the rule of law.’
The council voted in June to unanimously to display only five flags, including the American flag, the Michigan flag and one that represents the native countries of immigrant residents.
The action led to protests and raised questions about discrimination, religion and the city’s reputation for welcoming newcomers.Some members of the all-Muslim city council said the pride flag clashes with the beliefs of some members of their faith. Businesses and residents aren’t prohibited from displaying a pride flag on their own property.
In mid-June, the council voted to ban LGBTQ+ flags from publicly owned flagpoles after a tense hours long meeting that raised questions about discrimination, religion and the city’s reputation for welcoming newcomers.

Shame on you all for letting this happen but i am also guilty then my homeland germany is overflooded and the flow keeps on going so we are all quilty one way or another and we must set this right.

But they fly the flags of the shithole Muslim countries they came from probably as ‘refugees’. These same countries discriminate horribly against Christians.

After 1,400 years, these Muslim city councilors got one issue right.
The Tasmanian Devil says
I LAUD THE MUSLIMS!
There is nothing — including Islam — more cancerous, onerous and dangerous than LGBT.
This ought to be a NATIONAL priority.
BareNakedIslam says
I have one problem with this story. Though I agree with the ban on Pride flags in public spaces, they shouldn’t be allowing flags that represent Muslim immigrant countries in the public square either.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Right and most important is the fact as to why do they wave the flags from the countires from wich they fled?. That should be one question that needs to be answered. Why do they flee from a country and to install the same shit in the country to wich they flee?. Some answers could upset you so we keep it quiet until its too late, from this the question arrises why do they want to do this to our nations??. Think this out to the end and your answers will not be nice will they.
BareNakedIslam says
That’s easy, their main goal is to take over every non-Muslim country and turn it into ah Islamic hellhole like the ones they fled.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
That is the half of the answer and the other half is that the politics here in the west want the takeover too, why do they want that?.

Moslem post-pubertal males will rape LGBTQIA+ freaks en masse till their holes become incontinent when the Moslem population reaches critical mass, within a decade or two, all across the West and Eastern Europe!

That’s called HUDNA. They wait until their numbers grow so they can attack a population, or their perceived enemy, which is all the ‘infidels’ in the U.S.and around the world.
I find it so hypocritical that they call us infidels! Their gay people marry women to hide their homosexuality; their men attempt to have more than one wife, etc. The other problem is they are such consummate liars and their SATANIC “holy book” endorses and encourages lying to get what they want.
BTW, they are also very busy changing things in Wiki. Also, they are making changes to the Koran to use against the west so they may claim it’s peaceful. Again, simply liars. And may I add, they are pigs, cockroaches, cancer and termites.
Or perhaps I should add another one, since they use the terms above against Jews. They are like typhus or HIV, and spread around the world. So, if any Mooslum is reading this, are your feelings hurt? I’ll break out the tiny violin.
BareNakedIslam says
JS, and let’s not forget that in Iran, they force gay men to undergo gender reassignment surgery (paid for by the government) so they can pretend to be women in order to hide their homosexuality.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
As we all know the muslim is a liar and cheat. All of the bad things like the bacchi boys or the gangrapes on their own women. They do all bad things and on friday they are the best muslim ever. From experience i can say that all religions are like this, they preach the right way but behind closed doors they are all the same. The religions have been contaminated with this filth and the run on the money is gigantic here so what is religion?. This what they show its not is it. Stay by the holy book and you cant go wrong.
Ramez Fekry says
Right on all counts, JS John!
