I’m sure the people who did this came from outside the area. The example was on Capital Hill, a place known to be a gay neighborhood.
Formerly known to be a gay neighborhood, to be fair, but still generally a very inclusive area.
When did it stop being gay af?
Gradually over the last 10-15 years or so?
It was pretty darn gay in 2018, which was the last time I lived in Seattle.
Regardless, those people probably came up from Renton 🤪
it's still super gay, and by far the highest density of trans people I've ever lived among
If it's anything like sf–when ut got too expensive and tech-fasch
Capitol Hill has been a magnet for right-wingers coming to Seattle this year - most notably an anti-trans rally by a Christian theocratic organization from Spokane that led to counter-protestors clashing with police.
It's a pretty famous neighborhood for its queer population as well as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHOP/CHAZ) during the 2020 protests, which makes it a target for right-wing agitators despite its strong local community.
Always how it is. Philly is an amazingly, deeply progressive place that started what we would consider today's interpretation of "progressive" way way back in 1812. Racists and bigots absolutely exist in the city but for the most part, every instance of political violence in the past 10 years has either been actual Nazis (Patriot Front) shipping in via U-Haul, or goobers from the outer counties driving in specifically to shoot guns at windows and signs and drive out of the city with their plates covered, using one of those friggin remote controlled piezoelectric tint plate blockers
I’m surprised I’ve never even thought about this. That’s actually kind of brilliant… In an illegal way
They're all over AliExpress and TEMU. People use them mostly to cheat bridge tolls, lol.
