“I do not want any kind of rainbow display especially in this month.” Imagine hating the idea of diversity so much that any kind of rainbow offends you. These people won’t stop until the entire world is gray.

Man, these people are gonna be unhinged once they find out a rainbow is our visible light spectrum and that we technically see it everywhere. The kicker is that “God” put it there.

“Give it back”. Apparently god isn’t powerful enough to take it back himself. Weirdest game of keep away ever.

When your political project is ‘make everyone as miserable as I am’, whining about every goddamn thing is actually a kind of praxis.

You should see the comments on instagram reels whenever a teacher posts something and there’s a rainbow in the background, like just a rainbow on the wall in a kindergarten class or something, so many people absolutely fucking lose their minds and spew the most vile shit at these teachers, it’s bizarre.

That’s how social media works. All it takes is one person to find it and post it to their network.

They won’t stop until all the LGBTQ people (and Jews, people of color, etc) are dead.

Why do I feel like such an event would just make population epigenetics LGBTQ even harder.

“I do not want any kind of rainbow display especially in this month. We have a conservative town and as a library do not need to make political statements (see Target and Budlight as negative examples). I certainly do not want the library to promote LGBTQ agendas.”

Ah, and removing them is not a political statement?

Remember, it’s only “political” when it’s something they don’t like.

Tell them it’s to celebrate the receding flood waters and God’s promise to never do it again.

That should shut them up.

To the quoted hate-filled fuck: Existing without being persecuted isn’t a goddamn agenda you piece of shit. The only agenda I see here is your fascist one. Try keeping your shit to yourself and learn to let people be instead of trying to stamp them out, ignorant fuckstick.

LGBTQ people existing is not political, it is a fact. And I am sure even in that conservative town there are LGBTQ people who would want to read books about them or books to help them. Yea, helping other LGBTQ people is the gay agenda.
