The Borderline Dance team was set to perform, but were essentially told they weren't welcome by the LGBTQ+ event organizer because of their matching American flag themed shirts.
Is it permissible to wear an item of clothing that looks like the United States flag?
Answer:
Unless an article of clothing is made from an actual United States flag, there is NO breach of flag etiquette whatsoever. People are simply expressing their patriotism and love of country by wearing an article of clothing that happens to be red, white, and blue with stars and stripes. There is nothing illegal about the wearing or use of these items
Doesn’t have to be law to be a disrespectful decision (it is law though). Conservatives love to show “respect” to the flag, which the flag code outlines how to do. If you then toss those guidelines to the side whenever it’s beneficial to your argument, you’re not really respecting the flag, legality aside.
The definition of a flag, according to the flag code, is as follows:
The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field.
Who is wrong about the definition of a flag, the flag code or this site you found?
I am not ignorant on the topic. I cited the experts on the topic and you look silly arguing with the group associated with the flag code. They are the group who created the flag code.
Yet you think you know more than the group who created it. Typical lefty response of thinking they know more than the people who wrote it.
You don’t understand the quote as the people who wrote it explained. I mean that’s pretty silly to disagree with the people who wrote the flag code. Congress didn’t write it. They just approved what the legion did.
It’s funny to see you claim to know more than the group who created it. That’s a level of troll I rarely see
Flag code isn’t law. Also they didn’t use a flag for clothing. No flags were harmed in the making of their outfits.

The guidelines don’t apply because it’s not a real American flag. As I cited the legion says it’s not an issue.
Funny how lefties don’t even know what an American flag is.
Don’t believe every source Google gives you.

You think the American legion isn’t a reputable source?
The America legion.
The organization chartered by Congress for veterans

I simply quoted the flag code, which was the basis of the point you were making that the clothing was not in violation of.
Also, flag code IS US Federal law, even though it is not mandatory. It was enacted by the 105th congress. So yeah that carries more weight.
You continue to show your ignorance of the points you argue against and I am so here for it.

I quoted the flag code and US congress itself, you just can’t stand being wrong.
Bruh I’m citing the damn code, pretty sure I’m more correct than you on this one 😂
