Westlock, Alberta is becoming a far-right culture war battleground after local youths win unanimous vote in support of rainbow crosswalk
When you allow far right attitudes to grow … they are like weeds that start appearing everywhere.
My general rule of thumb is … if one’s ideals and beliefs start affecting the lives of others … then their beliefs are not about them, they believe in wanting to control the lives of others.
Yeah, I’m trying to teach my brother that this isn’t true. He was bitching about the Elks name change again today and it’s fucking incredible how much energy he puts in to being pissed off about something that has literally zero tangible effect on his life.
Like seriously. You don’t have to like it, but it in the end it doesn’t fucking matter.
Same goes for rainbow crosswalks.
Editing this to add: it’s like those beeping crosswalks. No one really likes them, but it’s not a big deal because we know they help people with diminished or no vision.
I’m pretty indifferent towards rainbow crosswalks myself. They’re kind of nice when they’re fresh, but they keep getting driven over and become ugly. The coloured paint just doesn’t hold up as well. However, I know that it represents a supportive community and I like that.
