"For the month of June, those working in the city of Richmond can view the Gay Pride flag as they go about their day as the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has hoisted the colorful flag to fly just under our Stars and Stripes. President Obama has declared June as LGBT Month. Local Christians and conservatives are outraged but there is little that can be done about it. A private firm like the Richmond Federal Reserve can promote the homosexual agenda all they want."

Wow. That's pretty incredible. Nice "work environment".

This gives statist mouth pieces like Rachele Maddow an opportunity to cast "tenthers" and "end the feders" as homophobic.

So the Federal Reserve is wearing it's "private bank" disguise again?

When threatened to be audited, it's private. When the economy takes a nose dive, it becomes public to work with the U.S. Treasury. And when supporting LGBT month, it's magically private again.

Private when it wants. Public when it needs to be. The Federal Reserve. Two-faced S.O.Bs.

The Richmond Federal Reserve Bank's decision to fly the gay pride flag outside of its building, below the American flag, has outraged a Virginia lawmaker, who wants it removed.

In a letter to Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker, Robert Marshall, a Republican state delegate, called the flag "a serious deficiency of judgment by your organization, one not limited to social issues," according to the Richmond Times Dispatch.

Marshall claimed that the homosexual behavior "celebrated" by the bank "undermines the American economy" and is a felony in the state, the newspaper reported.

"The Richmond Fed's endorsement of costly, anti-social, immoral behavior is rejected by 6,000 years of Western Religious and moral teaching," wrote Marshall, a conservative lawmaker who is an outspoken critic of gay rights. "You want the American people to trust your [judgment] in economic matters when your spokesperson celebrates an attack on public morals?"

Sally Green, the bank's first vice president and chief operating officer, told the newspaper earlier this week that the bank is flying the flag "as an example of our commitment to the values of acceptance and inclusion."

Good for The Fed. I can't believe an article actually made me say that.

[Danke]

Most bankers are gay.
