    Came across a truck in a southern town covered in stickers of anime traps (some were borderline hentai), gay pride stickers, and a whole lot of gun stickers. They had a bumper sticker that said something like “the only thing straight about me is my shooting”.

      If anyone deserves the right to bare arms, it’s femboys. Not everyone looks good in dresses with sleeves!

      Back in the Trump days I saw a documentary on YouTube about the rise in LGBTQ+ gun culture.

      Basically, most of the interviewed folks reasoned: I’d rather not need or use a gun, but the people who want me dead all have them, so I want to protect myself. Obviously, there’s also just people in that community who enjoy guns regardless. Both are perfectly valid reasons.

    I have someone near my home who flies those exact same flags, so it made me think. My state bled for the Union, so it’s not a “southern pride” flag.

    I came to the conclusion American Pride, Gay Pride, And White Pride aren’t exclusive XD

    You can be love America, be gay, and hate minorities all at the same time, what a country

    If you use Tumblr to get pictures of handsome working men / military men / etc, you see a lot of this crap coming from the same accounts sharing hot dudes. Gay men decrying “wokeism” and hating on trans people and immigrants.

    Being gay unfortunately does not correllate with intelligence.

      Yeah no kidding, otherwise Log Cabin Republicans wouldn’t exist. I mean why else would an LGBT+ person vote Republican unless they’re just plain stupid?

      I know, but it’s like… how do you hold those three things as values dear enough to you to wave flags from the back of your truck and not see the dissonance.

      It’s like there’s a town near me and there’s one house that has a big Trump/Vance flag and two Trump/Vance banners on the fence in front of their porch.

      And a “proud union member” sign in their yard.

      Makes no fucking sense.

        Very few people can recognize that level of dissonance. They have twisted stuff in their minds so long it’s impossible to see it.

        i still think we should start satirizing flags, and making nonsense flags that don’t actually exist, but appear to exist, not unlike e pluribus anus, although that applies to the show community, so it doesn’t count.

        There’s got to be all kinds of stupid shit we can think up.

    Use to work with a woman who was this way. Masculine lesbian proud southerner. Verbally harassed young servers.

    Puerto Rican sous chef called her go- rilla because she had massive forearms.
