Conservative Americans More Offended By Gay Pride Flags Than Confederate Flags

Public Policy Polling has found that conservative Americans are more offended by the gay rainbow flag than the Confederate flag. Never mind that the latter is a symbol of racism to so many other Americans.

The results stem from two questions presented to 649 American voters: “Do you think high school students should be allowed to wear confederate flags to school, or not?” and “Do you think high school students should be allowed to wear gay pride flags to school, or not?”

42 percent of the voters polled defined themselves as “somewhat conservative” and 34 percent said they were “very conservative,” while only 3 percent stated they were “somewhat liberal” and 20 percent identified as “moderate.”

The findings:
