for real. folks, even if you’re atheist or agnostic, make a note right now of the religious institutions in your community with pride flags, progress flags, coexistence symbols, and palestine flags (assuming they’re not mosques, that will be a little trickier to get a read on, i’m not saying to hate a mosque with a palestine flag, it’s just not intrinsically a symbol of coexistence in that context). these are people who root their love of you in a different place than you root your love of humanity, but they still love you and want you to be alive on this earth. an imperfect coalition is better than a compromised one.
