  • While I wouldn’t personally mind pride colors on crosswalks, having them be forced to answer “anything” is better than being allowed to ignore it.

    Example:

    "Painting them pride color will increase the cost of painting them, as it requires new tools and extra colors adding complexity to an otherwise quick paint job with tools used also on other similar road work .

    While we agree in the spirit, the cost of doing this outweighs the increased visibility of a minority group, and will therefore not be considered further. "

    Do what you can when you can, and live the rest of your time in peace knowing you did your best with what you had.

    Could you have done more? Sure, but at what cost?

    Organized protest when your voice can bring change, then go back to focusing on your local community where the stakes are smaller, but you still get the wins. Get others to join when the topic comes up, but accept that people need boundaries to stay sane, and might have different capacity than you.
