Why people sign
We deserve more art in this town. Plus it’s something that is easy to put back to normal if we want it to be. Ex- to clean up, we pour more asphalt fixing the street anyway! Win win.
Recognition of the incredible LGBTQ+ history in New Hope is far overdue and only serves to uplift long time members of the community. Representations like this hurt no one. If you feel you are somehow negatively impacted by this perhaps you want to look inwards before coming to protest it.
I'm an ally and think it is important to remind those I care about who are part of the community that I support them. They deserve to be visible and free to be themselves.
