This is not a nonprofit matter at all, but something having more to do with the climate of this country. On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court, by a six to three vote, severely restricted the government's power to regulate the private, consensual sexual behavior of adults (PDF). In the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco, I learn from Lawrence Lessig's weblog that: "As anyone who has driven through this neighborhood knows, at Market and Castro there is a huge Gay Pride flag that flies every day of the year. Huge, maybe the largest flag I have ever seen. I was out of town on the day of the decision. But I am told that the day after Lawrence was decided, the Gay Pride flag came down. An American flag was raised in its place."
