Today, CNN reported the sighting of a ISIS flag at London Pride. This would be disturbing news because ISIS (the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) is a jihadi militant group known most for its videos depicting beheadings of foreign workers, throwing suspected gay men off of buildings and destroying cultural heritage sites — why would the LGBTQ community accept such a banner at their parade?!?
However, if you look a bit closer, you’ll see that the flag is NOT a ISIS flag, but in fact, a parody flag with dildos instead of Arabic writing.
Just compare this actual ISIS flag below to the one in the image above:
In CNN’s defense, the dildo flag is obviously meant to resemble the ISIS flag, using butt-toys to lampoon the group’s medieval practice of tossing gay men off of buildings. But way to make a big deal out of some butt-plugs, CNN. Makes you think that those poor journalists don’t know the first thing about queer mockery or buttplay — poor deprived journalists.
