Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.

Can I sue Eric Batman for having to see that he exists, and being upset by that fact?

What about us having to look at his stupid church when we are out and about. My delicate psychy is offended, maybe I should file a lawsuit.

Lawsuit against them too.

Lawsuits against everyone!
