    You could almost make this an argument that homes and businesses would not be able to have flags because they go above the side walk. Or have sale signs in front of coffee shops because it’s a “decoration”. Seems a little too vague. Also a pride flag isn’t political, social, religious, or commercial. It’s like having brown hair. Homosexuality is natural and observed in over 5000 species.

    The part I would agree with is the crosswalk part, purely from a safety perspective.

      Yeah, I very much support rainbows and pride stuff in other places, but I have never felt great about rainbow crosswalks. I’m an autistic driver, I do my best to limit distraction and already have to spend so much of my daily “supply” of willpower staying focused on my short drive. Heck, a freshly painted white crosswalk is distracting enough, lol.

      But since it’s something for the public, if it hasn’t actually increased traffic incidents, then I am also fine with it. My personal experience with it isn’t universal, after all.
