Giant LGBT LOVE artwork to be part of Steppin Out in

Post by oaktonhokie »

blacksburg next month.

Downtown blacksburg, inc is sponsoring the giant art work, to promote tourism. "Visitors are encouraged to take a picture in front of the artwork and share it on Facebook..."

To promote tourism.

So far nothing about black lies matter, CAIR, NOW, or antifa displays.

Blacksburg becoming just another liberal college town. Pity.

Still trying to figure out how this promotes tourism. Wild guess...they need to say that to get "free" money for it.

You don't understand how public art promotes tourism?

Divisive social issues usually aren't the best format to appeal to the largest audience.

To put it in terms you can better grasp, it would be like a gentrified apartment building in the Bronx hoping to attract white yuppies putting black people in their ad literature. Not going to work well at attracting racist white transplants from South of the Mason Dixon. :mrgreen:

It's only divisive the far-right socially conservative fringe. Not divisive to the mainstream. Just says the word "Love"

LGWTFBBQ Love. Non unusual folks don't feel the need to virtue signal by having their picture taken next to that crap and spamming it on social media.

"Love" can be a triggering word to The Usuals.

A usual's love is very different from that of an unusual.
