    So which is it, a safety issue, or a “political ideology” issue?

    And since when has a group of people existing been a “political ideology”?

        The problem is that there pushing their culture onto everyone else.

        This is so fucking priceless, it should be in a museum.

        Please inform me which part of their culture they are “pushing” on everyone else, that way I can ask you why it’s okay for the straights to do it, but nobody else gets to.

        LGBTQ people exist. That’s something you can never, ever change. So maybe get over it and stop saying that them existing in public is somehow negatively impacting anyone who isn’t just a scared little bigot.

        If giving people judgment free spaces to be themselves makes more people gay then so bit, I’m sorry freedom scares you.

        Wait are you implying Greg abbot thinks rainbows make people gay? Or you think rainbows make people gay? If we removed like a color or two would it not be gay? Like take out 3 colors at random and it becomes a national flag. But too many color = gay? Bending light is gay? I guess it ain’t straight cuz it’s bent.

        Yeah, it’s not the rainbow crosswalk that’s making you feel attracted to people the same sex as you. That’s something within you that makes you feel that way. And that’s fine. If you want to repress those feelings that’s a choice you make for yourself.

        But we can’t structure our society around some people’s need to repress their gay feelings.

        If the rainbow crosswalk makes you unsure of your sexuality, that’s a you issue. Straight people don’t have to make themselves straight, they just are. Straight men don’t have to make themselves not want dick. And so long as seeing symbols is forcing culture, I never want to see a cross again, stop shoving your lifestyle down my throat
