God I hate those crosswalks. They're peak performative activism. What exactly does painting the road do to make the lives of LGB people better, hmm?

I absolutely love how British people can take the piss and it's accepted in normal everyday life, even among media and national headlines. We call it "sarcasm" or "satire" on this side, and it's looked down upon and judged in the US. You all have kept it real, while we fight as individuals.

This is the rainbow flag ... until they decided that wasn't garish anough.
I don't remember any gay man, lesbian, bisexual, or trans person demanding representation through the medium of pedestrian crossings or car parking spaces.
I suppose when the battle has been won, some people just like to keep on fighting, don't they. It seems just petty.

LMFAO!

I love british people so bad. I love humor and they got it greatly, together with the posh sexy accent.- What's not to like? UK, UK, UK

The parking spaces for gay people in Germany are an interesting choice. I can’t say I’m keen on advertising to homophobes which car is mine. Fixing the paint job on a car after it’s keyed is expensive and a pain in the ass.

Indeed, I laughed hard when that part came on, because how is it safer to identify yourself / your car, if you are already feeling that unsafe while just going about your business?

😅This was hilarious. I love that. He's clearly not homophobic, but he makes a mockery of performative activism. I don't need a rainbow slapped over a pedestrian crossing or a parking spot. I don't want any attention to the fact I'm gay, I want to be a normal person with no special treatment. A small rainbow flag in a store is nice in a homophobic country but I don't need the flags to harass people about my existence.

I have to admit, the one and only time I saw a rainbow sidewalk, I smiled.

It seemed fun. If nothing out, it has what my design teacher would call "visual interest" in a way that a plain sidewalk doesn't. It seemed to me more akin to getting local artists to do paint those metal boxes on downtown streets, than anything else.

Next time I see one, it's going to hit differently.
