It’s so important. Seeing pride flags up tells me that I’m safe in that part of town. And who knows, maybe me having my flag up will make it so that other queer people will think about moving onto my street and start flying theirs too

I live in NY and I see a lot of pride flags all the time. It's nice. Earlier this summer I visited some folks in like South Jersey and it was striking, once I noticed, how few pride flags there were. I saw one. I saw a lot of trump stuff.

A woman friend of mine that's married to a woman said she's seriously discussed with her wife if they're going to stop visiting folks there, because it doesn't feel safe.
