MTG Gets Blunt Reminder After She Shames Texas Resort For Flying LGBTQ+ Pride Flag

The MAGA Rep. said 'shame on you' to the Gaylord Texas Resort & Convention Center, which was hosting a Turning Point USA conference, for displaying the Pride flag alongside the American flag and Texas state flag.

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene found herself embroiled in a Twitter storm after expressing her disapproval of an LGBTQ+ Pride flag displayed outside the Gaylord Texas Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas.

Greene's remarks came during her speech at a conference organized by the right-wing college group Turning Point USA.


Taking offense at the LGBTQ flag flying alongside the American flag and the Texas state flag, Greene launched into a tirade criticizing its presence. Known for her history of homophobic rants, she expressed her disdain for what she perceived as a focus on people's sexual orientations dictating the display of flags.

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Greene said:

“Shame on them. Shame on them. Shame on them for hanging that flag out there. Shame on them."
"Because it shouldn’t be about what people do sexually that causes us to hang a flag somewhere.”
“The only flags that should ever be hung are our United States flag and a state flag, so shame on the Gaylord. I’m surprised one of y’all hasn’t shimmied up that flag pole yet and taken it down.”

Greene's comments drew swift backlash from critics who accused her of hypocrisy, highlighting her support for individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection who proudly displayed Trump and Confederate flags during the attack.

Twitter users were quick to point out the inconsistency of her stance.

They questioned how she could denounce the display of the rainbow flag while overlooking the presence of divisive symbols associated with the attack on the United States Capitol.








As society progresses towards greater inclusivity, challenges persist in confronting prejudice and promoting a more tolerant and diverse society.

The Gaylord Texas Resort & Convention Center has not publicly responded to Greene's comments or the controversy surrounding the rainbow flag display.

The incident, however, highlights the ongoing struggle for acceptance and equality faced by LGBTQ individuals, even in public spaces.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
