San Antonio Becomes More Liberal

[AustinN4]

Leaving next month, out of city and county. That was the plan for a while now however the new mayor and council make it a great time to be doing it.

For good, or are ya com'in back?

Houston's was private. I agree if SA has to pay more for it, but if it too was private, would you care?

I would.

 

[Younggun]

Seems if someone's taxes paid for the road they would have reason to care about what it displays, regardless of who pays for the paint.

If they do half the cross walk then I want to put a Rebel flag and a Nativity scene on the other half.

Let me guess, you have been pegged as a racist religious fanatic.

For good, just over to Guadalupe County. In laws offered us the chance to move into their current house after they decided to buy a new one. Rent will be $1 a month.

 

[zincwarrior]

I would.

Why? Have you seen the Houston one? Its epic cool.

And would you have a problem with it and why?

 

[Younggun]

I would. That type of display represents neither me, nor my interests. In fact, the very act of painting a street with such displays simply caters to a segment of society that has become obsessed with forcing their views and opinions on others. A billboard on privately owned property...have at it. Painting up public property payed for by the tax payers, NYET.

I can't think of any reason why things like this should be considered ok. Whether it's a rainbow crosswalk or Confederate Flag intersection.

If we will be making painted streets the new free speech platform then I should be able to pick up a few cans at home depot and go wild, but that's illegal. Streets are painted in order to inform drivers of the streets purpose and prevent accidents, not inform drivers that someones gay and here to stay.

Not pushing an agenda (wow it just got suddenly dark here). I just think it looks really cool, and would be neat near a zoo or something. This is what happens when your youngest graduates and is about to be off to UT. I think I am moving directly from parent mode to grandad mode (better not be yet!)

An advertisement for sodomy has no business on public property. You think it does?

Must have missed the advertisement for marriage. I just see a multicolored pedestrian crossing lane. Pretty pretty.

and this of course. I saw one Sunday, appropriately enough.
Genesis 9:16 (NIV) “Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

How is it not? If not, why not paint it red, white, and blue? That would look much better IMO.

You're being disingenuous.

I'd like that too! That would be cool!

Found one!

I concur. It is a political message for a special interest group. Hands off public property. You want to wear a rainbow shirt, have at it.

Not at all. I understand its a gay symbol, but its and older symbol then that. On one wall at our church we have a cool rainbow. I just think it looks neat and the many colors would fit SA's Mexican heritage.

See the above post. The meaning is obvious and hasn't even been hidden...or glossed over. In fact, it was advertised as part of an agenda.

You are making yourself look dishonest. I found that link with only a 2 work google search, "Houston Crosswalk". Nothing to encourage any LGBTQRSTUV results. It was halfway down the first page preceded only by links to an organization that's actually called "Houston Crosswalk".

Like I said, just looks cool to me. Would be neat in downtown Houston as a contrast to most of these dreary looking buildings. We don't have some of the cooler older buildings SA has.

It had already been mentioned in the beginning of the thread. You're just late to the party Youngie!

As I said, if I lived in SA this is not what I would be worried about, but the fact your city is actively running out of water and you's all gonna die.
