    So there’s this daycare down the street from me. It has had a rainbow colored access ramp for as long as I can remember.

    It’s now painted black.

    It could be completely unrelated, but I highly doubt it.

      You should complain.

      Or at least, the non-bigoted daycare parents should. A huge part of this problem is caused by a relatively few assholes going full Karen about their own fucking hangups and making them everyone else’s problem. The solution is that decent people need to get EVEN LOUDER AND MORE PISSED OFF than they are, so that decision makers understand whose opinion actually matters here.

        I just had a very similar conversation last night with some family and friends. There was a time when I would ignore shitty people’s opinions… After all, neither of us will change each other’s minds. However, that’s exactly how we got here. Those seemingly fringe, hurtful opinions now decide things for everyone. I’m not quiet any more.

      If it had grip sand integrated into the paint it would make sense that it needed repainted, and getting one color of deck paint is cheaper, and black paint absorbs more sunlight so they need to salt less.

      Still sucks, but it’s the same reason we can’t have cool cars anymore.
