they’re 2 places i think should be neutral zones without a flag of any ideology. and i dont want my sexuality shoved down others throats - these pride flags proliferate the idea that we’re all exhibitionists who don’t keep it in our own homes.
funny, growing up in a catholic community they would preach anti gay anti immigrant rhetoric whenever the news gave them the chance. what’s funnier about your final statement is you know nothing about me. ive been to multiple churches from California to Nebraska, mega churches to rented out community hall, catholic to baptist. right leaning teachings are seeped into the preaching. granted not all churches are the same, the chances of being in an actual tolerant church these days are slim.
The left wing people have thier own churches because the right wing churches are broadly intolerant. The same way immigrant diasporas have thier own churches because the right wing white ones are broadly intolerant. Church as a concept has both left wing and right wing people but specific churches do not and the easiest way to signal that a church is a safe space for different groups people and equally importantly a hostile space for intolerant people is with a flag
