There are some other flags, however, that are troublesome, that they and other Republicans in the state have not spoken out against as vociferously.įormer Gov.

Indeed, a Marquette Law School poll from 2016 found that almost two-thirds of all Wisconsinites supported marriage equality, while less than 1-in-3 opposed the idea.Ĭraig and Allen are in the minority opinion here: the Pride flag is not as offensive as they think it is. Despite passing a state constitutional ban on marriage equality in 2006, citizens of the state have since evolved on the issue. In fact, the number of people in the state of Wisconsin who find the Pride flag to be "controversial" at all is probably minimal. And while those flags aren't controversial to most, to some who are conscientious objectors or anti-war, an argument could be made - the same argument Craig is making - that those kinds of flags are indeed offensive. Lawmakers fly POW/MIA flags on top of the Capitol all the time. That's a nice sentiment - but it's also untrue. The only cause that the Capitol flags should represent is fifty states united in one republic. The governor's action today is in no doubt a statement to advance a cause. The US and Wisconsin flags are flown over us as unifying symbols for all Wisconsinites.
