I’m an LGBT ally, but I decided to show support with LGBT flag in a pretty red area next to highway. I got the f slur thrown at me and a fishing reel handle thrown at me (didn’t hit me). Just the experience itself affects me. Idk how the LGBT community in general does it or if it’s just different for everyone.
I guess it was a small number of people. There was some love.
The constant bombardment is exhausting, especially now with this resurgence of animosity.
It’s not gonna stop me from being visible. I’m fortunate enough not to live in a hostile environment. Solidarity is survival.
