The group of LGBTQ activist climbers said the flag, which is 55 feet by 35 feet, is the largest ever displayed on the face of the world-famous rock climbing destination.
Reminds me of the time runescape did a pride parade and everyone got mad because we are there to enjoy a game and escape from this for a bit, not because we oppose it in any way.
I think permanently carving the faces of a bunch of genocidal slave owners into an indigenous people’s sacred mountain, is infinitely more offensive than a marginalized group temporarily putting up a flag.
Indigenous folks opinions about the pride flag protest are most certainly varied. Collapsing all indigenous Peoples has having a single opinion is the real white people behavior.
What do you think indigenous folks opinion is of this?
Headline calls El capitan “iconic” but a better word is “sacred” and this is just white people behaviour
Indigenous folks understand protesting for marginalized people, I’d wager.
I’d wager in this case you are wrong but unfortunately nobody asked them as per usual
I don’t understand what has you so upset about this. El Capitan was not defaced. The flag is no longer there and left no lasting traces.
I’m just pointing out that it’s not the place for this and I know I’m right
There is no “right place” for protest. You’re arguing for the status quo. Protest is supposed to make people uncomfortable.
“I know I’m right.” That’s childish talk.
There is no right place to people who don’t like the message, and that’s the only reason for your opposition.
I have no problem with the message at all.

You have no problem with the message except that it exists.
Just like your only problem with trans people is that they exist.
You don’t know anything about me.
define “this” precisely and choose your words carefully
Forces of oppression are composed of self-deception, lay your core values bare and let people decide for themselves.
Climb the stairs out of your momma’s basement and go touch grass.
I’ve bagged more summits than anyone in this thread
Also I own my house so I’m posting from my own basement thanks
And there it is. Fuck off, homophobe.
You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about
You likely have never even climbed a mountain lol
Even if that were true it wouldn’t make your opinion any less stupid, but also you’re wrong lol

Oh yeah Mount Rushmore is a disgrace, obviously not even close to the same level
They have their own transgender called two-spirit so they’d be fine with it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That’s actually disputed among historians
The term “two spirit” is iffy, but there 100% were third/multiple genders in many indigenous societies.
We have pictures of We’Wha for example.
I’m Choctaw ish, wasn’t raised in it but there’s conceptions of third genders in Choctaw and Chickasaw cultures.
