It’s so important. Seeing pride flags up tells me that I’m safe in that part of town. And who knows, maybe me having my flag up will make it so that other queer people will think about moving onto my street and start flying theirs too
I live in NY and I see a lot of pride flags all the time. It’s nice. Earlier this summer I visited some folks in like South Jersey and it was striking, once I noticed, how few pride flags there were. I saw one. I saw a lot of trump stuff.
A woman friend of mine that’s married to a woman said she’s seriously discussed with her wife if they’re going to stop visiting folks there, because it doesn’t feel safe.
We have quite a few pride flags of various types through my neighborhood. One time, we got a painted rock on our porch labeling us “rainbow neighbors” which was very sweet.

Omg I just thought of a horror movie idea where they use flags as bait to make people feel safe.
And plot twist……they are?
It becomes a big accepting community.
And also like a good horror like a Stephen King novel, the real evil are the other people invading.
Wow you got down votes by morons who didn’t get it. I was going to post the same thing. It swings both ways as a honey trap.
We’re in the wholesome community. That’s probably why there’s a negative reception to that particular idea.
Yeah like Get Out. It’s okay. Some people don’t like horror movies.
