    Like let’s say it isn’t malicious compliance just for the sake of argument. They wrote a law that pretty much says if they even suspect dei they can rain hellfire down. What did they expect? Is every small city supposed to guess at is this dei or not? Just see what a judge says? Of course they aren’t, it’s much safer to cancel

      Not to mention by their own definitions DEI favors Republicans. They are the least qualified and get all the handouts after all…

    Whenever the pride parade is happening here, I leave the city, not because I hate the politics or message, but because I dislike crowds.

    My point is that you can just not be in the city when events you dislike takes place there.

    Go for a hike in the woods, head to the airport and do some planespotting, take a trip to a neighbouring town and explore, buy a camera and go take artistic photos outside of the city, go canoeing in a local river, do something else, but don’t ruin other people’s day just because you can’t accept that love can take a lot of different forms.

    They’re trying to bring back the St Patrick’s day parade with private funding while leaving the other stuff cancelled.

      So be it. They don’t want the city finding those things, so the city shouldn’t fund them. Even if the parade proceeds with private funding, it’s still a win for equality.

        Having donors decide who gets a parade has its own drawbacks. And I wonder what happens if someone wants to sponsor a parade for something De Santis doesn’t like. Such as gay pride lol. Or, well, use your imagination.

    When I lived in Louisiana, they had a St. Pattricks Day parade. Along with green beads they also threw heads of cabbage and potatoes. I liked the people of Louisiana far better than those I met in Texas. The place is so racist, it doesn’t discriminate.
