“It means a lot, because none of the other NFL teams have done anything like this, and the fact that an actual NFL team went on and did something like this — especially the 49ers, because they’re my team — is awesome,” he said.

"Flags are very powerful symbols, and clearly this flag has become a symbol of a negative aspect of our country's past," Repke said. "For some people, it represents something very negative and hateful."

Given their home city, the 49ers are expectedly one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly organizations in the NFL. And their gay fans appreciate it.

As the NHL takes steps and missteps, it’s a joy to see the NFL show acceptance and inclusion of LGBT people. There was NFL presence at a community Pride parade in Haddon Township, NJ, this month. I was given a very cool hat with the NFL symbol in rainbow.

From the top down, the Niners embrace the rainbow. The NFL is becoming more inclusive overall, with the league making its first ever Pride collection and increasing is LGBTQ+ outreach efforts.

"`What's really pushing sales [now] is removal of the monuments," Kennedy told CBS MoneyWatch. "The general feeling I get from customers that call and email is that they are just pushing back at people who are trying to revise our history. I think as long as that's in the news" demand will continue.

Alabama Flag & Banner's customer base now includes the mom-and-pop stores that can't get a U.S.-made flag elsewhere, bolstering demand. Some Chinese companies make Confederate flags, but most places want to buy American-made, she said.

Major U.S. flag makers stopped producing Confederate flags two years ago following a surge in orders after now-convicted shooter Dylann Roof went on a rampage at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Seriously how could Anyone in the LGBT+ community Ever support Any Team from Texass. Their long history of Anti LGBT+ support should tell you all you need to know.

Ever year since 2017, the NFL sponsors the NGFFL’s annual championship tournament, the aptly titled “Gay Bowl.” The Patriots sponsored the event when it was held in Boston six years ago, and every team in the tournament’s host city has followed suit (the Seahawks sponsored this year’s event in Seattle).

The small shop, which may be the last U.S.-based maker of Confederate flags, said sales have surged in the weeks since the deadly rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Speaking of showing support, that’s exactly what the New England Patriots did for their LGBTQ+ fans this week, when they welcomed Boston’s LGBTQ+ flag football league to Gillette Stadium for a TV shoot.

But a drag brunch at Levi’s Stadium is another level. Bay Area drag luminaries such as The Vixen, Tala, and Catinni P. Vandon are slated to perform as well.

Words are great, but as we know, tangible actions are even better. That’s why it’s also a big deal for out college football star Byron Perkins to be featured in a new commercial for NFL Shop.

Confederate statue removals or calls for them are stepping up, Reuters reported. Baltimore removed its statues overnight earlier this month. And this week, Charlottesville itself covered a statue of General Robert E. Lee in black shrouds to symbolize mourning in the city.

Demand has risen even more "dramatically within in the last 24 hours," ever since an interview about the shop was published at AL.com and as Confederate monuments across the country come down or are under debate, said owner Belinda Kennedy. who opened her Huntsville, Alabama shop in 1985.

The brunch is scheduled in part with 49ers PRIDE, the first official NFL social club dedicated to LGBTQ+ fans. The Niners launched their Pride club in 2019.

"To me, removing monuments and flags is not a solution," Kennedy said. "If the intent is to combat racism, that's clearly not going to do it, because we did all that two years ago shortly after [Roof] shot all those poor innocent people in the church. And I think we have a bigger racial divide than what we did two years ago."

The San Francisco 49ers, who never shy away from embracing their LGBTQ+ fans, are hosting a drag brunch at their home stadium Sunday morning. The event is the perfect pregame for their afternoon contest against the Cincinnati Bengals, a Super Bowl rematch.

On the field, they added Katie Sowers to their coaching staff, making her the first out gay and female coach in Super Bowl history.

Roof, convicted of killing nine, was sentenced to death in January. South Carolina subsequently took down its Confederate flag from the state house that year, and major retailers like Amazon and Wal-Mart stopped selling them.

Once the major flagmakers stopped producing the Confederate symbols, sales climbed at Alabama Flag & Banner. Nevertheless, Kennedy said Confederate flags remain a fraction of its revenue, and that the ``U.S. flag is always king."

Annin Flagmakers, which calls itself the oldest and largest flagmaker in the U.S., stopped making the Confederate version after the shootings, Mary E. Repke, senior vice president of sales and marketing, said in an e-mail. They were a tiny portion of sales and went primarily to Civil War re-enactors, she added.

When Carl Nassib came out in June 2021, the NFL followed with a video affirming its support for LGBTQ+ rights. The video says “football is gay, lesbian, queer, transgender and accepting.”

Kennedy said she isn't adding to her staff of 14 flagmakers just yet, though the shop is considering extending hours to meet demand this weekend.
