So we have a guy in GullFloss that has political views that often align with people who are not supportive of Pride displays. He avoids a tribal mentality here, and thinks for himself rather than adopting the views of his "political team" and makes a financial and public show of support for a Pride event.
Assuming negative intent on his posts is toxic, and a tribal view of Pride from the other side is just as damaging. This is the stuff that entrenches "us versus them", when the whole point of Pride is to eliminate "us versus them" and turn it into just universally "us".
Jayswin admitted he made a mistake, so all good, we move on.
GullFloss, I don't always align with your politics, but I love someone understands where politics have absolutely no place, such as universally supporting equal rights for all. This was great to see.
