'Ex-Gay' Activist Denounces Use of LGBT Pride Flag to Mourn Orlando Victims"Ex-gay" activist Jeremy Schwab says the LGBT Pride flag is a "symbol of evil" that destroys life in the same way that the Orlando terrorist did when he murdered 50 people at a gay nightclub early Sunday. Schwab, who lives in Dallas and authored a plank endorsing "ex-gay" therapy in the Texas GOP's platform, sent this reporter a Facebook message early Monday denouncing the use of the flag to mourn the victims of the massacre at Pulse Orlando. "It's really sickening that anyone would use the rainbow flag in the context of today's tragedy," Schwab wrote. "The victims of this horrific tragedy were sons and daughters of God. It is a disgrace to refer to them by a reductionist reference to their sexual attractions. The rainbow flag is propaganda for the false "gay" construct and lies that continue to oppress millions of people. It is {a} symbol of evil that destroys temporal and eternal life in the same way that this terrorist destroyed earthly life. BOTH are evil." Schwab posted an identical message to his Facebook timeline, where it had received 61 likes by Monday morning. Most commenters were supportive of Schwab's post, with one person calling him "a stud" and another referring to the LGBT Pride flag as "a monstrosity." Only two commenters criticized Schwab. One said his post was "in poor taste," while the other, gay Republican Rudy Oeftering, wrote: "Give it a rest. Can you spare your attacks on gays, however couched in big words, until the families bury their loved ones?"
