Thoughts on gay crosswalks?

How about liberals just stop imposing their **** on me instead. If you people don't like division then maybe you should stop causing it.

How about you stop imposing your **** on other people first. That'd be a step in the right direction.

Yeah, okay we'll go tell the gays to stop existing because according to you they are "divisive". Brilliant:roll:

Why would straight people need to have sidewalks painted for them, these are usually done to major intersections in largely gay communities, it also helps that rainbows tend to be pretty easy to apply to something like a crosswalk. How is this any different than a city spending money on a St. Patrick's Day parade or a Christmas festival? Like I told Henrin if you want your little safe space move or better yet just live with it, it does not affect you in the slightest unless you make it an issue.

Why do gay people need sidewalks, crosswalks painted for them?
Yes it does effect the pocketbook of the taxpayers having to pay for this stuff. Those rainbows don't get painted free of charge. The money would be better served repairing potholes where all could benefit. Or new playground equipment at the parks where many benefit from it. Or maybe planting wildflowers on city owned parks and recreation or upgrading baseball diamonds and shelter houses. All those things many benefit from the money. Painted rainbows in crosswalks not so much.

What? Please quote me saying anything like that.

All I ask is that cities stop wasting money pandering to gays. I assure you that ending pandering towards gays won't cause anyone to disappear.

That's it? Really, that is all you have? Pandering like this causes division, which is exactly what liberals are complaining about these days. If they don't like division then they should stop causing it.

So planting flowers are free then? It is the exact same as planting flowers somewhere well or I guess a more apt comparison painting a mural, it is for appeal, they just decided to paint crosswalks in the gay community instead.

Acknowledging that gay people exist should not be "divisive", nor is it "pandering". Yet, apparently in the minds of people like you it does, which says a lot.

Everyone knows they exist. Why do they need acknowledged? Do straight people need acknowledged? If not, then why not? Do straight people not deserve equal treatment?

Maybe they could try to frame it internally as a reminder of God's promise never to send another flood...

Well gay culture is a thing and people celebrate it.

And I don't care if they celebrate gay culture. Why do they need taxpayer money to celebrate their culture?

Well, I already knew Bucky was like this. His "concern" for the gay community is faker than fake news; this is all just an act on his part. I still remember him calling me "diseased" like 6 or so months ago.

Because people like you think they are "divisive". Oh, and by the way whining about painting a crosswalk really is rather sad. It doesn't harm you in any way, shape or form yet you are pratically in hysterics.

I hate to interrupt your "straight people are the real victims" pity party, but no, straight people have never been treated anywhere near as badly as gay people.

Nothing is free.

Gay, straight alike appreciate natural beauty. Most people do. It is a non gender choice to enhance city property with something many appreciate.

Filling potholes is a non-gender choice. Repairing playgrounds is a non-gender choice. etc. etc. etc.

Painting rainbows on crosswalks not so much.

Personally I have no problem with the rainbow/gay crosswalks being painted in major cities now but I feel we are shoving ideals and principles down people's throats that have different beliefs.

IMO they shouldn't be allowed. Nazi groups do not have a right to pay for swastika crosswalks neither do groups like ISIS. IMO these gay crosswalks are completely unnecessary and a waste of money.

They should've painted it black to show support for BLM.

Maybe you should spend your time worried about more important things.

How much will rainbow crosswalks cost, compared to just a few white stripes?

If it were my tax dollars paying for it, you bet I would be questioning the idea.
