mutton : I just hope they get everything settled by Wednesday so it doesn't interfere with the National Mushroom Day Parade.

MissAmericanPie : To be honest I don't really care about this. Maybe it best to stay consistent throughout the country. But there may be more important issues to worry about. I hope this does not become something that causes big issues.

MissAmericanPie : What's the political message a painted crosswalk sends?
1836 : " The rainbow symbol was popularized by Gilbert Baker in 1978. Baker, an artist and activist, designed the rainbow flag for the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade. Each color in the flag represents different aspects of the LGBTQ+ community, such as life, healing, sunlight, and spirit. The flag has since become an enduring symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and diversity worldwide."

MissAmericanPie : Your assertion is that being gay is a political ideology?
No. But they are a political lobbying organization, are they not?
MissAmericanPie : The gay community is an political lobbying organization? That is just silly. Gay folks are members of all political parties.
1836 : No. But they are a political lobbying organization, are they not? And there is an agenda, is there not? I don't even care what it is. My point is, it doesn't belong on the crosswalks. The Monrose area has all kinds of folks living there, They aren't special are they? AI Summary The political lobby power of the LGBTQ+ community has grown significantly in recent years. This influence is evident in various areas: Legislative Advocacy LGBTQ+ advocacy groups actively lobby for policies that promote equality, such as marriage rights, anti-discrimination laws, and healthcare access. Organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD play crucial roles in these efforts. Political Representation There has been an increase in LGBTQ+ individuals holding political office, which enhances representation and advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights. This visibility helps to influence public policy and societal attitudes. Public Support Growing public support for LGBTQ+ rights has strengthened lobbying efforts. Polls indicate that a majority of Americans favor equality measures, which encourages lawmakers to support LGBTQ+ initiatives. Coalition Building LGBTQ+ groups often collaborate with other social justice movements, amplifying their voice and impact. This coalition-building helps to address intersectional issues and broaden the scope of advocacy efforts.* Gray box warning: Please keep the forums civil. Gray box info Details+Dispute
