They did encourage people to burn pride flags. Just sayin' it is a "pride" flag.
I like your style.
Have a 🍪
I mean, I would argue the "Coward's Swastika" (thin blue line) flags are about pride.
Why did you post the "racist pride" flag?
Paired with the accompanying text, the commenter implies that the people calling for the burning of Pride flags should burn their racist confederate pride flags.
Poor little feller. I’m glad you tode eem what was what. You’re good fer lookin out fer the poor little feller.
I mean, this statement was made in Colorado. They love Lincoln up in Colorado, cause he built a ton of the rail network that makes Denver more than a glorified truck stop (and also helped kill all the Indians in the northern territories to enable westward expansion).
Funny story, the overall population of Colorado approves of the LGBTQ community. Stop Cosplaying in the 50's.
The 50s had less difficulty with gay than these spoilt screeching toddlers.
It's all they have now. They're unwilling to compromise any position, even though those positions are horribly unpopular. Instead they have to make a lot of noise and insist you move further to the right to meet them in the middle, or else.
Does that mean we can also burn the boot licking thin blue/green/red flags? 🤔
I get the blue and green ones (police and military), the red ones are for firefighters, right? To steal a phrase, nobody ever said fuck the fire department.
We're lucky we don't have ancient Roman style privatized firefighters that would stand around and wait for payment before putting out your fire.
Alternatively, "Hi, I'm with the fire department and I would like to buy your on-fire house. Take this deal now, because the price is only going down!" But yeah, they probably said fuck this specific fire brigade two thousand years ago lol
"cancel culture is out of control" -same old guys
What's that?
Put 2 pride flags up this year?
Way ahead of you there buddy.
This you?
Or did I just give you… ideas?
is that a toyota hilux?
American-sized license plate holders, so it'd be the Tacoma (similar to Hilux, but not quite the same). Or possibly old enough that it's just called "Toyota Truck".
It is, however, one machine gun away from being a technical.
Not me but I love the idea
In fact I've already got my bi flag and pride flag that I'm planning to put on my truck like all the people with US flags do on theirs
The MAGA heads would explode because they love the truck but hate the flags.
No they hate this truck. It needs to be 3x the size, get 10 miles to the gallon, and be filled with useless smart features before it meets their standards.
I'm actually considering getting a rainbow flag tattoo in solidarity.
Burn me if you dare.
Just a friendly suggestion... add the word "ally" to it or you may get a lot of unsolicited propositions.
There actually is an ally flag, specifically for uses like this.
I would but I feel it would ruin the aesthetic.
Plus I don't want people to think I'm straight right off the bat. Seems counterproductive. I want people to think I'm gay so they treat me the way they would treat a gay person.
So I can fuck them up for being homophobic.
If you hang out with any LGBT+ people, the bigots always assume you are LGBT+, in case you didn't know. Ally's get treated just as bad. Everything about the way bigots work is a "guilty by association" mindset.
Oh I'm aware. It's why I've become so aggressive against homophobes.
Too many of my friends have dealt with the bigotry and I'm not having it anymore.
I currently get zero propositions. I could use the ego boost.
I'm sure you're attractive. You have a winning online presence.
I was mainly posting to make my insecurities into a funny. That is still gratifying to read. Thank you. I appreciate that there are people here who are just happy to be kind to others. We all need it sometimes.

I really thought that the headline had to be at least just a little hyperbolic...
Nope. It's for real.

What the actual fuck...
Jesus fucking christ america. Their bio includes "and, yes, Democrats love criminals and steal your tax dollars." Did they forget their candidate is a felon?
They don't care about reality because their voter base will believe whatever they say as long as it gets their emotions riled up.
Some years ago, before Trump even took over the party, the Texas GOP started putting shit like this directly into their official state party platform. Including a nice PDF doc on their own hosted domain where you could cite everything. It was really handy for showing Enlightened Centrists that, no, it's not just a loud minority of the right. This is what the party is like now, and has been for a while.
Some of those religious nutter comments are absolutely unhinged.
Religion is a mental illness and it's astounding that it's still acceptable.
Man these religiouses sure are noisy as all fuck
The republican party really are the Darleks of politics. All they know is hatred, war, and destruction.
