Hear hear! I have a Whitmer /Gilchrist yard sign going up this October. No bumper stickers yet, ---

News story? And what was this official town “lack of diversity” celebration? ---

There was no news story. This happened a few doors away from me. I know the people involved, both the cops and the “socialists”. The lack of diversity was called out as a strength of our community in speeches by town “leaders” and then vocally defended online. I’m not going to doxx myself. Probably given the resident doxxers too much information already. ---

I’ve got some various sports teams Pride shirts. I had some Pete Buttigieg buttons on my old backpack during the primaries. ---

Not at all, I was just curious what the statement meant. Some jurisdictions have rules regarding signs making political statements outside of an election timing although I wouldn’t think social justice issues would fall into that category. Here in western Canada lots of people are displaying “all children matter” signs although most commonly in front windows.
