I bought a bunch of little pride flags to stick in the ground around the neighborhood and a banner for my front yard when I saw this a couple days ago. Fortunately I live in a great city for queer folk, but you go just a mile north or east of here and it gets ugly pretty fast.
I visited Colorado ~4 years ago. I remember thinking the people in Denver were impressively nice, especially us being from Florida. But, once we got to our Airbnb a few miles outside of the city, things were different. The Airbnb owner, while still nice enough to meet with and welcome us to his property, just had to talk about politics. It was that victim complex where he was being told what to do by the liberals and blah blah blah… One of the ways he was getting back at them was by encouraging all visitors to feed the wild deer, something that was allegedly made illegal by liberals to control him. Maybe he thought we would care about his politics and even agree with him because we were light-skinned from Florida, I was in the military, and my traveling partner was a cop, but we had far left political views and never asked him to begin with. It made us not want to talk to him anymore.
Yeesh. Colorado has a lot of rural space with a lot of folks who think like that. The borders between the liberal city/college types and the MAGA country types can be pretty thin.

It’s actually genius to find a bigot and just stick one pride flag in their yard every day to drive them nuts.
