You can air your grievances right here

You may remember Chaz Stevens, the Executive Director of The Humanity Fund, as the man who joyfully points out the hypocrisy of our Christian-only freedom of religion. A couple of weeks ago Mr. Stevens said that this holiday season should be a Gay Pride Festivus season—a nod to the recent Supreme Court decision on gay marriage. First stop? Arkansas!

Executive Director for the Humanity Fund Chaz Stevens said he sent in an Arkansas Secretary of State Temporary Display application around 1 p.m. on Monday. Stevens gave the following description of the pole he wishes to erect at the state Capitol grounds. Six foot tall Festivus pole

Topped with an 8" disco ball

Wrapped in the colors of the rainbow

Mounted on a stand

X-crossed pieces of wood approximately 2'x2'

Sounds reasonable enough, considering Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson already allowed a Ten Commandments monument to be erected on State Capitol grounds. Arkansas Matters asked a state senator, Bart Hester about this bit of holiday news.

Sen. Bart Hester, R-Cave Springs, told KARK, "He has the right to ask. The legislature approved the 10 Commandments as a historical document. Look at our state and national Capitol. They are covered in scripture and the 10 Commandments. I fail to see a gay pole as having any historical significance in the founding of our state or nation."

Now, it’s not surprising that Sen. Hester doesn’t seem to be appreciative of the idea of a “gay pole” on state capitol grounds. But saying that the state is covered in Christian memorabilia is not an argument. Just say you don’t like gay stuff Senator!
