From the video

Code:
In the 70's the rainbow flag would also represent unity.
Conservatives hate unity. No wonder they are so against the rainbow flag.

My friend was really pissed a few years ago when he found out he had to stop using his rainbow guitar strap because people would think he was gay.

Taking a specific incident and using it to make sweeping generalizations about a large group of people is not only an excercise in logical fallacy, but it also runs very close to the line between exaggeration and willfull dishonesty.

Of course, liberals hate honesty, so it isn't a surprise.

Another example would be the ludicrous "Gay Marraige" amendment. How many examples does it take before sweeping generalizations become ok?

They never become okay. They're a shortcut to thinking.
