That's actually a really bad reason though, isn't it?
Makes it seem performative but also encourages bad actors to adopt the imagery and suddenly no one feels safe.
I couldn't tell you if any of my neighbors with pride flags on their houses are actually queer. It doesn't matter.
Hi mate! We don't allow politics so had to delete your comment
Fair enough, cheers.
Showing solidarity by flying a pride flag outside of one's house is not some slippery slope to being thrown into concentration camps.
Like it's actually kind of outrageous to push that people willing to fly a pride flag outside of their personal homes could be spies that are lying in wait for years and years and years as your neighbor to turn on you later.
We're in the wholesome community as a reminder.

Not sure how wanting people to feel safe is "performative"?
And I promise you no maga would put pride apparel on their stuff to "own the libs".
What was the reason this is so bad again?
What's performative is people loudly condemning it on the grounds of their own personal beliefs as if those should dictate the lives of others rather than be observed by those devoted to their ideals. For example it's telling to me that people immediately need to twist what is a very clear mesage of intent and concoct hypotheticals to make it appear insincere or even dangerous.
Are you a dumbass or just cosplaying? 🤔
