They’re everywhere. I’m composing a small card to leave in these businesses listing the many kinds of people who are put off by the banner: detrans, PITT writers, lesbians, rad fems etc.

Don’t forget to add good men who believe in women’s rights and dignity. Love your small card idea … please post your card for people to have printed.

Bustin’ Out Boutique is a great name for a bra store, you have to admit.

Yes, though as someone who got a reduction — it makes me cringe lol

I walk out of any retailer who displays the progress flag or say something to the effect that it makes me very uncomfortable as a homosexual, as a woman and as a feminist and I don’t feel safe. If everyone did it (without explanation other than to say it made them uncomfortable), perhaps they’d stop displaying them.

Nice! I should just start saying “I wish you didn’t hang that ugly flag here”

That’s funny. I have long remarked on what an eyesore it is. It offends all good design aesthetics.

Yes, it is an offense against good design!

Absolutely hideous!

It's the flag of straight colonization of LGB people and the communities that took decades to build.

Monstrous!

Pride parades bring a lot of folks out that are in a spending mode. Merchants love pride, not because of any moral convictions but because they can make a buck. I wish the LGB faction of pride would start their own parade excluding the trans element.

I ❤️ Canadians! I heard that they finished the USA national anthem once at th e beginning of a hocky game when the sound system went out. I especially like those who voice their concern over the Trump tariffs.

The Panhandle votes Democrat pretty much every election. The GOP wins Fairbanks and Anchorage.

The Panhandle is a mass of tourist towns, the capital and de facto Reservations.
