poll: Residential Pride Flags--what do they mean to you?

[jesse_the_k]

I’m seeing more progress pride flags flying in my neighborhood. In the poll, I’m using “queer” in the broadest possible sense: any (sexual or gender) (orientation or preference). The poll is anonymous—even I can’t see who voted how.

Poll #32560 Pride Flag Messaging

This poll is anonymous.
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 70

When you see this flag flying on an unknown residence, what meaning do you take away?

Re: Serious question

Yes. Perhaps it's my narrow bias instead, but if they're willing to sell nonironic goods about e.g. what a family really consists of (husband-led), maybe they don't need my money for goods bearing rainbows, ace colors, what have you.

My error for typing "yellow" by itself--it is purple on yellow generally (I've also seen a circle on pink). Thanks for linking an actual example!
