New Jersey Community May Debate Gay Flag Displays  | News | Advocate.com

New Jersey Community May Debate Gay Flag Displays  | News | Advocate.com: "Residents of Shark River Hills, an unincorporated area in New Jersey’s Neptune Township, may address the appropriateness of gay rights flag displays at their annual meeting on April 28.

The Asbury Park Press reports that a member of the community in Monmouth County submitted a question concerning the flags for consideration by the Township Committee and the Shark River Hills Property Owners’ Association.

'Ref: Display of sexual orientation flags,' the question begins. 'More and more, we are noticing flags being displayed on [Shark River Hills] properties declaring the occupants' sexual orientation or proclivity -- not just the multicolored 'gay' striped flags, but also banners indicating fetishes and or other 'lifestyle' choices. While this type of display may be acceptable in certain gay enclaves, there is simply no justification for it in a family-oriented neighborhood like [Shark River Hills]. Your comments?'"

Here's a new flag issue. Question: how can there be such a place as "Shark River Hills"? Why not "Whale Desert Falls"?
