I’m an LGBT ally, but I decided to show support with LGBT flag in a pretty red area next to highway. I got the f slur thrown at me and a fishing reel handle thrown at me (didn’t hit me). Just the experience itself affects me. Idk how the LGBT community in general does it or if it’s just different for everyone.

I guess it was a small number of people. There was some love.

    It feels risky to take a side, especially when it seems like the other side is feeling increasingly emboldened and righteous in their violence. I want a world to exist where LGBT (and others) don’t need to be afraid to live freely, and that means sometimes I do things that scare me.

    I’m not trying to preach, or say you need to suck it up, or anything like that. I just want to say that I get it. Thanks for taking a side; I wish more people would.
