    A week before Pride last year, my town was dripping in rainbows. The march is this coming Saturday and I have seen maybe 4 or 5 in town and all on businesses, people are nervous .

    We’ve decided that we’d rather not risk marking our house out and aren’t putting one up either.

        It is, but we have kids and quite frankly I’m not about to put them at risk of being screamed at, or my house at risk of attack. My neighbours are amazing and we get on really well with them, but it’s not them I’m bothered about. It’s the random nutter radicalised by the idiots across the border and Pierre fucking Polievre

          We moved to a rural area a couple years ago and it’s quite amazing just how many “fuck Trudeau” vinyl stickers and flags people are affixing to their vehicles so I can see the concern.

          None of us can let anyone know what I do for work for fear of violence/backlash since it’s a profession that conservatives hate right now. Kind of sucks because it makes making friends very difficult.
