More signs:

I live in deep blue Park Slope, Brooklyn. Last year in June I couldn't leave my house without choking on Pride flags. This year they have virtually disappeared. Neighbors aren't putting them on their houses. Businessses, only a couple. Even the super-correct music school that was pushing pronouns last year cut back to a string of small pennants around their garden tent. Is is possible that more people are becoming ashamed of the Pride flag?

In Phoenixville PA the pride celebration was much more low key. My husband and I avoided going there because of it. We were shocked. There was one business that had their pride crap up with the owners outside. I smiled, looked at the pride crap and kept on walking. Hope they got the message.

I had some potholders that were stripes of different colors. I threw them out!

Good news! (Brooklyn raised girl here, from a more traditionally conservative part of the borough-Bay Ridge/border Dyker Heights).

I live in a neighborhood that historically can’t get enough of virtue signaling and I’ve only seen one yard with those eyesores!
