Is a rainbow flag today’s swastika?

GUILFORD — How interesting that on April 1, we were reminded that on that date in 1933, Nazi Germany staged a day-long national boycott of Jewish-owned businesses, while that day's headlines in 2014 told about a call for boycotting Indiana because of that state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

We all want the freedom to exercise our faith convictions as protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, just as the Jews in Germany wanted to live according to their faith while living there.

Is today's LGBTQ rainbow flag today's swastika symbol? Are the brown-shirts coming to destroy our livelihoods?
