Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

So which is it, a safety issue, or a "political ideology" issue?
And since when has a group of people existing been a "political ideology"?
The existence of anyone not straight, white, wealthy and christian has always been political in the USA
This is so fucking priceless, it should be in a museum.
Please inform me which part of their culture they are "pushing" on everyone else, that way I can ask you why it's okay for the straights to do it, but nobody else gets to.
LGBTQ people exist. That's something you can never, ever change. So maybe get over it and stop saying that them existing in public is somehow negatively impacting anyone who isn't just a scared little bigot.
Lmao ban weather because rainbows make you gay
Again, yeah. Gay people are awesome.
Why is that bad?
And how does the crosswalk make you feel less freemt be straight?
And what makes you think other people will
Why
Why do you think that
I’ve been super straight my whole hole life, butt after reading your cumment I’m starting to have a staying desire for some meat in my mouth and I’ve been vegetarian for years! Now you got me bouncing on my bois d to this and I couldn’t have done it without you.
I’m gonna need you to look me in the eyes so I can finish.
Wait are you implying Greg abbot thinks rainbows make people gay? Or you think rainbows make people gay? If we removed like a color or two would it not be gay? Like take out 3 colors at random and it becomes a national flag. But too many color = gay? Bending light is gay? I guess it ain’t straight cuz it’s bent.
Colored streets is all it takes huh? Then we’re truly at risk of a birth-pocalypse.
Yeah, it's not the rainbow crosswalk that's making you feel attracted to people the same sex as you. That's something within you that makes you feel that way. And that's fine. If you want to repress those feelings that's a choice you make for yourself.
But we can't structure our society around some people's need to repress their gay feelings.
So you want politicians to do the thinking for you?
Hell yeah I do. Straight people suck.
If the rainbow crosswalk makes you unsure of your sexuality, that's a you issue. Straight people don't have to make themselves straight, they just are. Straight men don't have to make themselves not want dick. And so long as seeing symbols is forcing culture, I never want to see a cross again, stop shoving your lifestyle down my throat
