Hey Fellow Queer DUers! Does Your Vehicle Have A Rainbow Sticker...
... or a pink traingle sticker, or lambda sticker, or an HRC sticker... or any other decoration that would be recognized by other GLBT folks in your area?

5. Oh Sweetie... Go ahead and...
and slap a rainbow sticker "cling" on the inside your car's back window. It won't peel the paint!

7. My Car Has A Rainbow Flag and An HRC Sticker...
and my truck has a rainbow flag and DU sticker.

There have been a few times when someone in a parking lot will strike up a conversation with me because of my stickers. BUT... a couple of times, I've been shouted down (FAGGOT!!!) on the highway or given the finger (or the exaggerated "jerking-off" pantomime). Lovely, huh?

9. Ah, the "just missed that next rung on the evolutionary ladder" types.
The "FAGGOT" and given the finger assholes. Yes, lovely.

But most people are friendly about it. Well, unless you live in Alabama or Mississippi.

11. someone gave you a friendly finger?
I'm aggressive enough of a driver -- I don't want any identifying characteristics on my car for when I run one of those Dallas drivers who must cross three lanes of traffic at 70 miles and hour without a signal to take the right exit, off the road. A romulan cloaking device would be helpful too.

Actually, anyone with Gaydar Vision can plainly see whatever they want to see and the rest, who cares.

13. see, that would make me crazy.
I would be running somebody's ass off the road and drag their ignorant carcass out of the car by their hair and throw it into oncoming traffic.

Unfortunately I have no patience for persecution, so I just don't go there.

You would do that BECAUSE you are a Dallas driver!

Signed, Fellow Dallas Driver, straight but with a big ol' HRC sticker on the back of my mom-mobile minivan.

Don't we drive KRAZEE here?

in my community, that would invite things like smashed windows . . .
flat tires, keying, and lord knows what else . . . I find others through local organizations and such, but have no desire to make myself a target, particularly in this political climate . . .

19. Stickers
Both my partner and I have HRC stickers. A rainbow sticker in this small Oklahoma town would be dangerous! They are not bright enough to know the other gay symbols. I took my rainbow sticker off my car the moment I moved to Okla-HELL-ma 5 years ago.

28. #311 NO. I live in Kansas.
South East KS, small town.

I might get away with an HRC emblem since I don't think many here would know what it is... maybe.

But I can't risk any damage to my car right now. No income means no outgo.

not that that would stop me from putting another one on, but I am not out at work, so I don't want to put one on now.

35. No rainbow stickers or clings...
but I do have a leather pride cling in the rear-driver's side window. Definitely more obscure than the rainbow stickers.

36. You're Correct About That...
... but I can still spot them from 25 yards. :-)

Do I merely 'spot' them, or am I actively searching and scanning for them? Hmmm.

41. My car is major gay
I have a rainbow stripe on my rear window at the top and an HRC Sticker at the bottom, I have an RB (Rehoboth Beach) sticker on the side window. I have a Bitty Bear hanging from my rear view mirror. He is about 3 inches high and wears a rainbow sweater, and I have a mini rainbow wind sock hanging in a rear window.

Do you think it's too much?

Not too much at all. I think you need rainbow seat covers.

54. No. :(
I would like to get something for my car, but the gay area of Melbourne is also one of the darker areas of Melbourne, and I don't like going there on my own.

However, Sapph does have a rainbow sticker on her car. When we did our cross country trip in 2001, part of that journey was a stop off in NYC to visit with her sister for a week. Sapph left the car in a parking garage for that time, and we just caught the subway everywhere. Anyway, after the trip had ended Sapph went to get the car, while I finished packing our stuff, when she came back, she showed me the sticker. Some asshole had tried to pull it off and ended up tearing it in stead.

Then as we were leaving the city, heading for upstate NYC (I wanted to see Judy Garland's grave) this truck passed us and yelled out "faggots" to us. Bloody fools they were.

I would really like an upside down triangle sticker, because to me, it means a community in distress nowadays. And with Bush* stealing another election, we are in distress over there. And with Howard having total control here, we are in distress down under too.

Maybe if I ask Sapph she will bring me one with her at Christmas time.
