Karen Burns, a community college lecturer on sexuality has advocated that the 33% of flags and flagpoles be reserved for the Gay Pride Rainbow flag.

That’s because she estimated that about one-third of Americans identify as “sexual minorities”, despite that statistics reveal that it’s actually around 4.5% of Americans.

There were no published study to assert her claims. However, Burns stuck to her own guess-timated percentage as the true figure because “many in the LBGTQIA+ community secretly identify as such.”

“Those people are scared to come out of the closet because of the alt-right,” she said, “who are nothing but a bunch of bullies.”

However, when asked about whether the proportion of flags and flagpoles that fly the Confederate flag should reflect the proportion of those that identify with it, she pushed against it.

“They should be burned and banned,” she said, “those people should go into hiding like how they made the marginalized community do the same. No affirmative action [for them].”

And how about the POW/MIA flag?

“They’re a bit better because some racial, religious, sexual, and other minorities are under that flag,” she said. 

“But it’s still bad because the military used to have racial discrimination, then gay discrimination and, more recently, transgender discrimination,” she said, before commenting on President Trump wanting to remove transgender individuals from the military.

“It serves as the main killer for the United States government, a institution that has done nothing for marginalized people except to repress them,” she said. “I feel sorry for the people that are forced or tricked into joining.”

Yes, the US military doesn’t have a perfectly clean record. But who else is willing to save Burns, who claims to be a transgender women, lesbian, and feminist, from being thrown off a building by ISIS?
