Why not, the money is queer as a...well, a $3 bill - Marshall asks Richmond Fed to remove rainbow flag honoring gay rights

Marshall asks Richmond Fed to remove rainbow flag honoring gay rights: "Del. Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince William, is asking the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank to remove the rainbow flag flying below the American flag outside of the building, calling its presence "a serious deficiency of judgment by your organization, one not limited to social issues." ...

In a letter to Richmond Fed President Jeffrey M. Lacker, Marshall says the homosexual behavior “celebrated” by the bank “undermines the American economy.”

Marshall wrote in the letter that homosexual behavior is a class six felony in Virginia. The state’s sodomy law has remained on the books after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2003 declared unconstitutional a Texas law that prohibited consensual sexual acts between adults.
