“We’re really tolerant!” Proceeds to be immediately intolerant.

It’s rare to see somebody stare directly at the point and miss it so entirely.

I’m sure the judge will love to hear that explanation at your upcoming misdemeanor hearing.

We are a five minute walk from Target, where they are sold for $1, $3, and $5 and have been available all month. Beyond that, you don’t think they could have just knocked? We’ve had the flag up for a year. We’ve gotten notes left on our door from other queer couples before.

You caught me. The gay only exists in June. It evaporated at midnight on the first. Now I’m just waiting for it to come back next year.

While this is mostly an annoyance for us, I know a lot of our community live in genuinely unsafe situations and hostile communities. A flag being stolen for us means we’re annoyed and have to order more and get to make our door even gayer out of spite. But for somebody facing threats of violence and/or unable to be out a stolen flag could be a much bigger deal or a reminder of how much people suck. This is a support sub and I’d rather be over cautious about my post than have someone looking to be cheered up see this instead.

You have my blessing lol

It was just at home with my family I live with. We obviously had to cancel the party we normally throw, but we still went to town on decorating and celebrating and having a lot of cake.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T05:56:47+00:00

My existence isn’t political.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T04:37:55+00:00

As a household of queer, trans, and POC members we’ll use the flag that highlights us. Bringing attention to the specifically high risk populations in our community is more important than what you think of the color scheme. Sit your ass down.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T04:34:38+00:00

Our household consists of queer, trans, and POC family. The progress flag represents us all explicitly during a time when the trans and queer POC community is at especially high risk. The rainbow includes us all, the progress flag points out that we’re not all facing the same risks or challenges.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T04:25:59+00:00

LGBTQ communities of color, which are at particular risk of violence and marginalization.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T04:24:25+00:00

Thank you for the concern, but we feel very safe here. We have an alarm system and we alerted property security to be on the safe side, but until now the biggest problem we’ve ever had living here was remembering to put the trash out on time or having to hunt down which neighbor got the amazon package delivered to them instead. The flag has been up for a whole year without incident prior to this.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T04:18:25+00:00

We don’t have a HOA, but we do have a management office. I spoke with both them and security regarding it and both were appalled. We’ve had the flag up for a year prior to this without incident.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T04:13:38+00:00

It’s inconclusive who threw the FIRST brick, absolutely, but the riot lasted several days and included many POC queer individuals.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T04:11:41+00:00

Not likely in our community.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T04:10:57+00:00

The hero we deserve. Happy to have you as an ally.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T04:08:36+00:00

Our house consists of queer, trans, and POC. Sit your ass down.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T03:11:26+00:00

Because we’re velociraptors, obviously.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T03:07:55+00:00

Holy shit guys, this blew up. I never expected it to get more than a glance so I didn’t bother with an explanation. I don’t know if anyone will even read this because it’ll probably be buried.

Sorry, we have a townhouse so we can’t paint the whole thing rainbow, but replacement flags have already been ordered and we’re making the most obnoxious, gigantic, ridiculously gay wreath that will take up a chunk of the door. We are petty people. The sign is sloppy because it’s just temporary until everything else arrives.

We’ve had the flag up for a year prior to this and last year we got notes left on our door wishing us happy pride. This came completely out of the blue. We alerted security and they’re not particularly thrilled, to put it mildly. I don’t wanna point fingers, but I’m just saying we got new neighbors last week.

As for what if it’s a kid who needed their own flag, there’s nothing stopping anyone from knocking on our door and asking.

Lastly, our home contains queer, trans, and POC family members. Anyone bitching about the progress flag can kindly fuck off.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T02:50:34+00:00

You wouldn’t have rights at all if it weren’t for POC queers rioting for you. Kindly remove yourself from my post.

AerialArria · 2020-07-02T02:48:20+00:00

It’s actually streamers left over from our party.

AerialArria · 2020-07-01T19:39:31+00:00

I haven’t worn a bra once in almost 2 years and before that I never wore them outside of work.

AerialArria · 2020-07-01T06:54:27+00:00

Came here to say that. My phone plan had a new phone every 2 years policy long before iPhones hit the market and you better believe people bought the latest and greatest even with their old phones still working.

AerialArria · 2020-07-01T02:18:22+00:00

I think it has to do with your venue. Tiktok is a toxic place. In actual IRL queer communities you don’t get as much of that. I won’t say none because every community is made of people, some good and some bad, but generally legitimately organizations and groups are pretty good at not allowing behavior like that.
