    Could also be someone flying the flags because they think it’s a funny thing to do, entirely unrelated to the political statement.

    Which I guess is a political statement in itself.

      I certainly found it funny as fuck, my thought process was “ugh, a bigoted cun-wait???”

          I’m gay and I’ve lived in SLC for almost 65 years, and let me tell you - gay people are among the MOST bigoted. They think they are very accepting, but the truth is, most of them reject anyone who doesn’t fit their idea about what a gay male should be. If you look like a twink or you aren’t a certain way, you get shunned here completely. It’s really nasty to see.

          But, the truth is, all human beings are bigoted. We have to be, we’re wired up that way. We are wired to want to only hang out with certain people and reject others, and see other people as inferior in almost every situation. It’s sort of a survival mechanism from primitive days, and it’s part of who we are as a species.
