If i put the slogan "homos are gay" would I get in trouble? I don't think i would, cus it's....true...but um...just wondering. I don't want my nation getting deleted. I mean, it's the same thing as saying steel is metal right?

Legal or not, "homos are gay" is probably a motto left alone and forgotten.

Actuallly in the region Sverige there is one nation with an "SS" mark on the flag. Personally I could live without it...

It might be the same thing, but it's hateful, and I can't imagine why anyone would want that on his/her flag.

...and it probably will get your nation deleted.

It is against the rules to put anything offensive on your flag. "Homos are gay" is considered offensive and is thus against the rules.

Well...seeing as people here aren't composed of steel, they probably wouldn't be offended by that comparison, however, 'homos are gay' is quite offensive because there are people in NS that are gay. You're basically putting down anyone here that may be gay or bisexual. There really is nothing funny about that slogan.

I wouldn't put that as a slogan. You'd be walking a fine line.

Swastikas in any form are banned; not so other symbols.
