In my experience people who would own that sticker are generally the people who would shoot you for messing with their sticker.

Careful. Don't wanna upset those fragile snowflakes that carry guns and love authoritarianism.

It's actually so sad that the country has armed dangerous paranoid psychopaths. Everyone not pro-gun has to thread carefully to avoid being executed by some asshole in a truck.

Not everyone who owns a gun and knows how to use it is necessarily pro-gun. Some people have them because they are reacting to living in a gun ridden country. We can't get rid of them at the moment, so it's not a bad idea to learn how to protect yourself in the meantime.

That being said, even gun owners have to tread carefully around certain types of people.

Don't worry, liberals have guns too now. Gotta keep the playing field level until we get some proper gun control.

Bad idea to do this.

Not because LGBTQ rights shouldn't be respected, but because you're very likely to piss off a right-winger with a gun.

The important thing is that we cater to their bigotry because they might get violent. We should always do what violent people want at all times because they might get violent. We should never speak up or do anything that opposes them, because society must cater to terrorists.

Sure, stand up against bigotry, but know the risks and use caution. If you think that vandalizing a sticker, though humorous, is worth the risk, then by all means do so.

I'm not sure why you wanna give shit to the person who points out the risk though. Maybe you should direct more of that anger towards the terrorists and not the person saying to be careful of taunting terrorists for minimal gains?

Ultimately it is the individual's decision what they want to stand up to. It's not "catering to bigotry" to choose to avoid a single battle. That's akin to putting the onus on marginalized groups to educate hegemonic groups when they demonstrate ignorance. It's a powerful thing when it happens, but it is completely within one's right to just keep to themselves and go home peacefully for the night.

Should buy a quick sticker strips and can get the colors on the flags quicker.

Thin rainbow lines :D

I've been listening to Punk Rock Factory the last days and your title is one of my favourites. If not for that, I wouldn't have gotten that ref. And nice paint job on that flag 🏳️‍🌈

Hah, just listened. That was an awesome cover.
