The Resurrection of Religious Fundamentalism

The pride flag is now a religious banner. And ironically, it is proving just as puritanical as past religious oppressions. There is a strict orthodoxy all must adhere to. If violated, there is discipline, perhaps even social excommunication. We are even resurrecting old blasphemy laws. That's what hate speech legislation is. It's legislatively protecting our society's deeply held religious commitments to sexual and gender orthodoxy.
