Some of the council members also noted that their vote wasn't about discrimination but rather practicality, saying: “If you let one flag in, you’ll have to let all of the flags in.” Hassan Aoun, a Muslim community leader from Dearborn, Mich., stated, “Pride month, don’t put it down our throats. You can be gay by yourself. … Do not put [the Pride flag] on city property.” An immigrant from Yemen spoke in favor of the resolution, stating that while the city “respect[s] all nations, cultures, and their flags…we only salute the American flag.” The man shared his personal experience of immigrating to the United States from Yemen as a child and revealed that he initially held a belief, instilled through his education, that America was an inherently racist and malevolent nation. However, as he grew older and gained more understanding, his perspective evolved. It was not until he went back to Yemen when he grew up that he saw what he said was “poverty and chaos…at another level” and then fully realized how thankful he was to live in America, where he can “worship [his] creator in peace and tranquility.” “Unfortunately, many people in our country don’t seem to understand this. They don’t know, or they don’t want to know, what it is like to live in extreme poverty, what it is like to live under severe repression, where there’s no freedom of speech, no freedom of religion,” the man said.
