Talk:Ben Haith

Changed "Pro-LGBT" to more factual subhead
The subhead formerly titled "Pro-LGBT activism" actually described Haith's opposition to LGBT rights. I read the cited news articles and it was very clear that Haith did not engage in "Pro-LGBT activism" in 1985 -- rather, he opposed the rights of gay men to become foster parents. I changed the subhead in the article to accord with the facts. It might seem unexpected, but the man who designed (and copyrighted) the Juneteenth flag was not progressive with respect to sexual equality for gays and lesbians. This does not make him a bad person per se, because his objections may be religious in nature, or founded in personal experience, but it does indicate that a person who can be progressive in one area may not be progressive in all areas. The attempt to falsely re-cast Haith as having been pro-LGBT in 1985 was misguided. Catherineyronwode (talk) 03:05, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
