Anti-gay students wear Confederate flag to express opposition to LGBT

These are the articles.

This link has a video with a student wearing a Confederate flag.

"They were using the 'F' slur and they were saying that if the gays get to wear the rainbow flag, then they should get to wear the Confederate flag, because it represents their heritage," one student said.
"It also has become something that symbolizes anti-gay at our school," said student Gaia Hendrix-Petry as she and other students walked in to district offices to get a meeting with the superintendent.


This article is a good summary and has links to the other articles.

The argument that this is a misuse of the Confederate flag is nonsense. The Sons of Confederate Veterans has made it clear that they see Confederate heritage as homophobia.

"Pernicious: The Neo-Confederate Campaign against Social Justice" published. Has extensive documentation of neo-Confederate homophobia.

https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B01JUS2YJW

It is available in paperback and Kindle at www.amazon.com. You can go to my author link above and see the link to the book.

The book has an extensive section on the homophobia and sexism of the neo-Confederates.

You can read how the Chaplain-in-Chiefs of the Sons of Confederate Veterans use terms like sodomy.
