Bryan Fischer used his American Family Radio program on Friday to reissue his demand that the rainbow flag be removed from public places on the grounds that it is offensive and divisive.
Reacting to reports that some schools in North Carolina have begun implementing dress codes that include bans on representations of the Confederate flag, Fischer said the same policy should apply to rainbow flags.
"If we are going to ban the Confederate flag because it is divisive, how about we ban the LGBT flag at school?" he said. "If we are going to ban the Confederate flag at school because it creates division, because it arouses division, because it is offensive to people, because it so violates their most deeply held values about human sexuality, I propose that everywhere—everywhere—where the Confederate flag is banned, that we propose that along with it, at the same time, that the LGBT rainbow flag be banned at exactly the same time for exactly the same reasons."
"It is offensive, it is contrary to our most deeply held values, it divides people, it does not bring them together," Fischer asserted. "It's time to have the LGBT flag banned right alongside the Confederate flag. If we're going to ban one, I submit we need to ban the other."
