Otherwise, they'd be straight. No flag needed. Since humans gonna human.

So, no I don't need to be aware of that. By a flag.
Fair enough, that's your interpretation. I personally know more heteros who display rainbow symbology than gay, so my interpretation is quite different than yours. If your disdain for same sex sex is such that anything that even remotely draws your way of thinking purely to the act, then so be it. Just saying that there are many others who don't have that same association.

Instead anytime they get involved, the FSU and turn the protest from a peaceful one to a riot. This case is one of them. They are just as bad as they claim BLM are.

Then what is the association? I am asking honestly.

How do gay people differ from straight people?

There's one difference. That's it. What's the point of calling it out?

Imagine if a straight person had black power symbols on the storefront ... and then when black people come into that business ... the cashier, etc. are white. What does that do?

back at you
The flag represents support for LGBTQ rights, it's not at advertisement for a sex den.

It's frequently even posted up by non-LGBTQ.

Lastly, if it helps prevent you getting triggered consider that if you have to make it about sex then imagine a bi-girl with a straight guy. (Hint: The B in the letters)

I've seen that logo. Does that one make you immediately think of sex like the rainbow flag too?

What rights do LGBTQ not have per the US and state governments? Can anyone LIST them?

They have the same rights as straight people. Everyone has the same rights.


Why are people perpetrating this myth that they have no rights???

Your post makes no sense.

If I saw a black power sign, I'd assume the owners/workers were black.

If I saw a cross, I'd assume the owners/workers were Christian.

If I saw a Star of David, I'd assume the owners/workers were Jewish.

Not sure why that's a difficult concept to understand.

As I said
Proud boys will be proud boys

Are you shocked? Does it seem out of character?
Quote:
Modesto Police Department spokeswoman Sharon Bear could not confirm the order of events Saturday afternoon but noted that the demonstrators were not part of the official straight pride rally because that was planned for noon.
And if you believe the article, one Proud Boy pushed against the police line which initiated a wave of violence from the 150-200 counterprotesters.

Who was responsible for the violence again?

The problem is there are a number on the right especially the "moral majority" (like the poster you are replying to is a part of judging by post history) who believe it actually does. Just as they believe teachers are actually groomers and pedophiles. The moral majority is full of lies.

Asking for verification is the same as defending?

That kind of thinking is prevalent in the Left, who think anyone who questions them is a Fascist.
