Rainbows on sidewalks is the most neutral you can get, people literally don’t have to think of it as gay rainbows; people just like rainbows
"to prove we are diverse and welcoming, we will remove all symbols intended to signal that"
A Maryland mayor removes rainbow crosswalks, citing neutrality concerns
“Our City is home to a diverse and vibrant community, and we want our public spaces to be welcoming to all,” Salisbury Mayor Randy Taylor said in announcing the decision.

There needs to be consequences for publishing lies.
1) Bruce Harrell is mayor. Why is this article framing a problem as the responsibility of the mayor-elect, rather than the existing mayor?!
2) Wilson did not promise to "end sweeps." This is a lie. Printing lies is propaganda, not news.

The Seattle DSA and Sawant do damage to leftist solidarity with this sectarian BS. You can disagree with me. Running on attacking others (especially the socialist candidates) more than running on uplifting with your own ideas for change is increasingly unpopular. It should be. It’s authoritarian.
