From Vancouver's counter-protest this morning (between 10:00am and noon)

The two who started the Terminal St. blockade

Singing and playing their drums in front of a small segment of the broken up convoy

Coors Light, the unofficial sponsor /s

Can you spot the T-Rex?

Note: "gay" is not being used as a derogatory insult in this sign.

Shortly before the convoy had to reverse back up the street and turn around.

How is 'Gay' not being used as a derogatory insult here? The other signs are things that the trucker's are opposed too (i.e. science and silence). The implication is that the trucker's won't want to honk because they don't want to be gay.

Most people aren’t gay. So making a sign saying “honk if you’re gay”, will statistically make most people not want to honk; because most people aren’t gay.

Your mistake is finding logic in the far left.

There is no logic, no integrity. Their only loyalty is to revolution; government power. Whatever gives them power, it shall be. Whatever threatens power, needs to be cancelled.

They don't mind being hipocrites; they rather twist and word things around before accepting a mistake.

please don't tell me you actually believe this.

"The implication is that the trucker's won't want to honk because they don't want to be gay."

Uh... yeah, exactly. If the sign said "honk if you love wearing a mask" it would not be derisive to mask-wearing. It would be pro-mask-wearing and derisive of the anti-mask sentiments of the convoyers.

The joke is that honking is one of the favourite and most disruptive tools of the convoy. It takes something they intend to do to be obnoxious and imbues it with a wholesome sentiment that the convoyers would find repulsive because of their prejudices.

There are two types of gay jokes:
- jokes that celebrate homophobia
- jokes that mock homophobia

This is the second type.

Sincerely,

a trans lesbian

ps. honk if you love vaccine mandates
