She is a great singer but once in a while a celebrity goes way too far.

To me the flag is the flag. It represents the United States and all that is good and bad about us. The flag doesn't get changed because we now celebrate a new holiday. It doesn't get changed because we celebrate Pride month or any other group or ideaology. The flag, as it stands, represents us all regardless of color, race, creed, orientation, gender, etc.

I can understand how people may look at the flag and see different things. A Black person may see oppression while a new immigrant may see freedom. It's what makes us our country.

Do things need to change? Yes they do but it doesn't start with the flag. Lets work together to make meaningful change then the flag will become what you want it to be.

"Liberty and justice for all" just shouldn't be a tag line in the pledge it should mean something for everyone who chooses to live here.
