The Borderline Dance team was set to perform, but were essentially told they weren't welcome by the LGBTQ+ event organizer because of their matching American flag themed shirts.
In conservative culture it helps push the “gays hate my country” narrative. Which to anybody with common sense is obviously not what it means, but it fuels that fire.
There were multiple dance groups. Two were not permitted to perform.
I find it odd they ban flag apperal at a country dance. Of all places you’d expect that
But being real, if you’re scared of the flag of the country you live in, and those who fly it, shouldnt you apply for asylum in a different country at that point?

It’s not the flag, it’s the flag bearers.
If they didnt like the dance squad, why did they go see them?
