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.
17 years ago my husband and I were visiting a friend in Nova Scotia to see if we wanted to move here (we did) and she knew Dan Blenkinship and arranged for a private tour of the site, so we got to see the money pit, 10X and had tea with Dan and his wife. A great experience to have after reading about Oak Island as Brit kid
Part of the original Pride flag designed and sew by Gilbert Baker in 1978
The original rainbow flag was conceived with 8 stripes. Gilbert Baker assigned specific meaning to each of the colors as seen below.

I hated Reddit towards the end and I'm loving the Fediverse, it feels like the internet of the 90's
I'll be staying here, I quite reddit a while back and I prefer the fediverse to the corporate hellsites
Just a reproduction of the old r/yarn on the other site, a place to swap, sell and give away yarn. I thought I would set up a Canada only version
I like it so far, been trying to create a community all day and that hasn't worked though, but I'm patient
Express your appreciation of the flag, agree that yes indeed Trudeau is very fuckable and you can see why they want to express that desire in flag based form
I loved frames and will not hear a word said against them
It's starting to feel like the 90's again, but without frames ;-) I haven't felt this engaged with the internet in years
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
