      It never should have happened in the first place, and we shouldn’t normalize repurposing public infrastructure to pander to anyone’s agenda.

        What is the agenda?

        Public spaces often have art and interest that reflects the community.

        No issue here it adds color to a downtown area like many other art forms.

              Arguing with you people is a genuine waste of time.

              I’m glad your influence doesn’t extend much past these forums.

            Really? Do you actually believe that? When you see art of a whale do you think they want you to be a whale?

            Or maybe is it that gay people exist and some art they might say oh look we are represented because we live in this community might be ok?

            And if you are a kid, you see a rainbow. And if you are an adult you also can just see a rainbow. That is up to you.

            People are left handed. People are right handed. People vary in skin tone and eye color. Nothing changes that. Nothing makes people gay. Just had to say it because you sound pretty ignorant.

                  I just told you.

                  They want rainbow crosswalks and more because they want to encourage more people to be gay.

                  I’m going to ignore you now because we’re going in circles. You don’t want to accept something as true, so you’ll go through mental gymnastics to convince yourself otherwise.

                  Some colorful street art reflecting a healthy community

                  It’s always telling when you people refuse to use specifics. You know that saying what’s actually happening hurts your argument, so you pivot to generalities where people have to make your argument for you.

                    I did use specifics. It represents people in the community.

                    You seem to not understand how the world works and I specifically told you.

                    Read what I wrote. It’s art that’s it.

                    Somehow you think their is an agenda beyond that. Ok why? Why would people want to do the impossible and get people to be gay? Who are those people, what do they gain from it?

            encourage more people to be gay

            Ah. So your entire argument is based on debunked right-wing talking points.

            1/10 trolling… or, $deity forbid this is a legit thing you think… in which case, go look at like ANY actual science around this subject in the past couple of decades.
