Can I ask a favor? PLEASE FLY THE RAINBOW FLAG

Last edited Mon Jun 13, 2016, 04:33 PM - Edit history (1)

In our own small way to bring unity for a cause and to show our support to the LBGTQ community, can I respectively ask that if you want to, please consider changing your avatar to the rainbow flag for a few days? If you don't want to change that and would like to put a flag in your sig line, please feel free to right click on the one in my sig line and use it in your own sig line. I have it stored on one of my graphic sites and it will be there as long as folks want it.

My Colorado flag is meaningless without inclusion. This horrific act of terrorism targeted a minority population and that's definitely part of American history like Klan raids, lynchings, and massacres of American Indians. The terror attacks of 9/11/01 and OK City targeted America and all Americans. This was a targeted hate crime committed by an American on other Americans singled out for murder. About as terrifying as it can get.

Hopefully that will get more attention. People should also feel free to spread the word....not just here but all over social media and anywhere else they go.

You only have room in your sig line for so many characters and I've had to limit my pics because of it sometime.
