It’s a very conservative suburb. I haven’t seen any rainbow flag yet. Maybe someone will put one up on PFLAG day.

Flag pin just says, I’ll agree that you’re normal, if you will do the same for me. It’s really kind of cowardly.

Getting pop -singer Katy Perry to sing for you when you run for president. Now that’s normal. Normal blows my mind.
They only reason I would wear a flag pin is to try to fool everyone.

Ok fine. I’ll bore you with a longer answer.
If a politician does or doesn’t wear a flag pin doesn’t motivate my support or voting towards or against that politician. I can name dozens of far more important issues.
At the end of the day most flag pin wearing is probably an empty gesture. But again, I care much more about policy than posturing.

The deal fell through for other reasons, but I decided that if I accepted the position I would comply and wear the pin, but I would also wear the pin of every other country I could find. That would make my point pretty well.

ha! Maybe, except I got a sense that most of the managers hated being told to wear it also. It was just the folks at the very top who thought it was a good idea.
I do have a large contrarian streak in me though. If everyone is doing something, I have a strong urge to do the opposite.
