We have been putting out our political signs, and during gay pride month we fly the rainbow flag under our US flag. Four years ago, we had a woman come to the door, just to let us know that our sign didn't make her feel so alone. And one of my fellow American Legionaires told me once that his wife wanted him to thank me for flying our rainbow flag.
Yeah, somebody going by in a pickup trick yelled the 'f' word at me last month. But that seems pretty insignificant by comparison.
