    Said it twice I'll say it a third time. The government just painted over a memorial for one of the country's deadliest mass shootings, several times, in a deliberate move of gay erasure extremely thinly veiled as a "safety concern". Fuck off. Take a long walk off a short pier.

    Oh ofc I think erasure of LGBTQ is horrible but someone riding over a rainbow that’s clearly on a road is 😭 it’s not that much of a problem and conservatives seem to think we think so lol

    It's the usual rightoid shit of completely misrepresenting what actually happened to get a cheap dunk attempt. Like yeah libs and lefties sound like hypocritical whiners when you just make up on in your own head.

    Not to downplay your comment, but in a lot of places people do burnouts on rainbow crosswalks specifically to leave tire tracks on them.

    Oh yeah, I know it’s bad to destroy LGBTQ+ flags and such but this comic is kind of referring to ppl in the community to cry over someone riding over w rainbow in the road when it’s.. it is on the road and it probably has like nothing to do with LGBTQ it could possibly be a simple rainbow or even if it isn’t, it’s in the road and myself snd any person in the LGBTQ+ community don’t see any real reason to get upset over it since it’s well, on the road.

    Its more about the intention behind the person doing the act. The person burning LGBT flags on houses has the same intentions as the person who did burnouts on a painted crosswalk.

    I usually see homophobes talk more about rainbow roads than gay people do, either complaining or exploding, literally trying to parkour the wall or unlock flying to not step on the gay agenda🙏

    Among many other differences, it should be noted a burning American flag looks hella cool, whereas a defaced rainbow crosswalk just looks lazy

    I mean there’s nothing wrong with burning the LGBTQ+ flag or the U.S. flag, as long as it’s your property, the car driving over the thing in the road doesn’t make sense though considering it’s a cross walk presumably it’s supposed to be driven over?

    Desecrate a flag? Yes. Destroy someone else's property? That's the crime.

    It's...a crosswalk.

    In a street.

    Of course cars will drive over it.

    Does Stonetoss not understand how crosswalks work?

    It’s not dumb it’s the same thing unless it’s property of someone else/the government which it usually is in these cases but if it’s public property like this or private property owned by the person it’s fine and not a crime

    So you’re referencing a guy getting community service and a bit of house arrest for reckless endangerment and property damage, and 3 adult teens (19 years old) being made to pay for repairs for their property damage as evidence of what? That actions have consequences?

    And what do either of these have to do with the comic? This is just two examples of people committing crimes and getting arrested about it.

    If I buy any flag. An American flag, a Union Jack, a pride flag. I can legally burn them. It belongs to me and therefore I have the right to destroy it, provided I do it safely of course. Same thing for anything else that I own (that isn't alive). I do not have the right to burn something that does not belong to me. That's a crime. You also can't legally occupy federal property, or someone else's property without their permission. This is pretty simple.
