    People have yelled homophobic slurs at me when I’m working outside or stop in front of my house and lay on their horns from time to time. It’s bc I’m the only house in town with an LGBT flag

    I’m pretty sure it’s only the same couple of guys, more of a sad curiosity than anything. Particularly amusing bc I am cishet shrug-outta-hecks

    I do think that if these psychos went full Krystal Nacht out here I would be unsafe tho which isn’t great. Have considered strapping up on multiple occasions but I have kids and I’m more of a danger to myself than those strangers will ever be

    It’s not all bad though I get some support honks too and one time a liberal even sent me a thank you card lol

      I lived in Arkansas for awhile and had my lgbtq flag pulled down from the front of my apartment multiple times.

      I had a reactionary tell me he was 1/8th native American (which he could be telling the truth alot of white folks in the ozarks do have a smigeon of native ancestry) so he’s not racist, he just can’t get with the “removed shit” apparently

      Sure guy, you’re not convincing me you don’t drop the nword behind closed doors with your buddies
