Why would stores managed and staffed by cisgender heterosexuals hang rainbow flags outside of Pride Month? Maybe folks in Seattle are unusually big-hearted and sympathetic to the vulnerable and victimized? Evidence against that theory is the enormous population of homeless who wander the streets and receive no assistance or attention from passersby. The good citizens of Seattle will step over a homeless person to get into a Tesla and drive to the rainbow flag shop. I didn&#8217;t see any store with a sign admonishing customers to do more or care more for the homeless or the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m wondering if LGBTQIA is the most popular social justice cause because there is no obvious connection between saying one is passionate about supporting LGBTQIA and having to donate money. If someone says &#8220;I care about the poor&#8221; and then buys a Tesla instead of a Honda Accord, a friend might ask &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you give $70,000 to the poor and drive a Honda rather than your fancy Tesla?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Readers: What do you think? Is there another reason for LGBTQIA to have overtaken all other social justice issues in visual prominence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s look at some photos&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0925-1520x1140.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1520\" height=\"1140\" src=\"https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0925-1520x1140.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"24108\" data-link=\"https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=24108\" class=\"wp-image-24108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0925-1520x1140.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0925-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0925-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0925-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0925.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1520px) 100vw, 1520px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0927-1520x1140.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1520\" height=\"1140\" src=\"https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0927-1520x1140.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"24109\" data-link=\"https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=24109\" class=\"wp-image-24109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0927-1520x1140.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0927-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0927-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0927-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philip.greenspun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0927.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1520px) 100vw, 1520px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bank of America welcomes the LGBTQIA as long as they don&#8217;t have pets with them.
