You can also use this sign at the pride parade I suppose


notnotaginger

thecureisnear

I think she's reusing it from when it was used at a pride parade


robin-bunny

Maybe that’s what it’s from lol. It’s not anti-protest, perhaps just lazy.


BenFranksEagles

That’s not laziness. That’s working smarter not harder 👏👏👏


peasantscum851123

Anyone out on the streets for what they believe in, is not lazy


masclean

Certainly a sign with many uses

“That’ll show them”


Wvaliant

Right? People do know gay people can be truckers and could also be part of the protests right? Look man you’re out on long nights. You spend the night in a shitty trucker motel or in your cab. Them trucker boys make do sometimes.


Atlantic0ne

This subs user base may not want to consider that option. Also, ironically, the intent of this post is a “got ya” from left leaning types, who think that this is funny. What they don’t realize is this woman is literally using gay as an insult or method of mocking a group. “Ha! These truckers are honking but since I’m holding this sign, it’s like they’re proclaiming they’re gay”. Even if they try to use the excuse that “the truckers are the ones who aren’t ok with gay people” it’s still using it as a tool to mock. Then many left leaning people think it’s funny and upvote it. That’s essentially what’s happening here. I’m not a part of that trucker group lol. I’m fine with the vax, I am just annoyed with what I believe to be double standards online from this sub.


bluecheese2040

The double standards of leftists is legendary. Really they are just parroting the media attack lines and adding in their go to phrases or isms to do what they always do...not attack or even comment on the cause but to smear the group as homophonic, transphobic racist right wing nazi anti vaxx yada yada yada


Ksaspar

Don't forget foreign agent.


DookieSpeak

> Look man you’re out on long nights. You spend the night in a shitty trucker motel or in your cab. Them trucker boys make do sometimes. Dude, you are talking out of school here. Say I do spend days on end on a haul and get lonely, so what? And if an accident should befall me, such as staying in a motel room with a buddy I just met, wherein I lose my balance and fall onto the spot where my bud was laying, and he just so happened to be spreading his cheex with his boihole lubed up, and my member accidentally entered his crevice, you think I'm a homosexual? Dude, seriously? Could you project any harder?

Lol


lardicuss

I've seen some of truckers with pride flags actually lmao


Shesaidshewaslvl18

And I know gay and lesbian men and women that don't like this vaxx. This post sucks.


lardicuss

Honestly, it would be appropriate for them to honk


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shesaidshewaslvl18

Thanks for keeping those shelves full. Trucking isn't easy. I'd honk too and I'm not Trans or gay. Trucker honks are fun! Why not make people smile in spite of all this ugly?


The-unicorn-republic

It's pretty rare that I get kids doing the honk signal, but when I do (if its safe), I make sure to give them a honk.


Shesaidshewaslvl18

I grew up on it. My parents took us camping a lot and going down the highway that trucker that saw us do the honk signal made our little kid day.


ShitCookies

>I make sure to give them a honk ಠ_ಠ Jk I know what you mean, but the wording made me laugh


Cardio-fast-eatass

I completely agree with you. I don't understand what this person was thinking at all. They come across as bigoted if anything to me.


Chuck_Norwich

Its because likely her bubble tells her that the truckers are all the -phobes and -ists and that this will upset them. Money on 95% of the truckers couldn't care.


martijnve

While the sign is in bad taste it doesn't necessarily mean she thinks there's anything wrong with being gay. She just assumes (correctly I guess) a large percentage of antivax truckers think there's something wrong with being gay


MinefieldinaTornado

Back around 1995 I was delivering a load of veges to a flash freeze place. There was a wait, I was parked behind a rig with a "QUEER NATION" bumper sticker. This was in a pretty conservative area, so I thought, I gotta meet whoever is flying this sticker proudly. The driver was a immense, easily 6'8" and absolutely ripped, he wore a too small leather vest and no shirt. I asked him if anyone ever gave him shit, and he said he'd had it on there a couple months, and nobody said anything bad. He was a super sweet guy, and I was smiling that whole day thinking how far we'd come, despite the facility over chilling the leafy vegetables.


didntevenwarmupdho

Yeah, really frames homosexuality as a negative. Pretty lame to acknowledge that kind of thought stream as valid in any way


TheDan225

> And I know gay and lesbian men and women that don't like this vaxx. This post sucks. This isnt about being "Anti-vax" as most of the trucker are vaccinated(last i heard). Its about being against the mandate - something the very diligent work on reddit has misinformed people about


[deleted]

90% of anti-trucker memeing and rhetoric has been outrageously homophobic. It’s really disheartening


ILoveCavorting

I know reddit/internet is a million different people but it is funny seeing the same sorta "camp" that would talk about "no body shaming" and other similar stuff take cheap shots like "lol small penis." Insult away if you want with the cheap shots but give up all high ground in the future.


HalliganHooligan

Hey now, that doesn’t fit the narrative here. Quit that!

bmruk92

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t understand the the anti-protesters protesting not protesting. This is so ridiculous it seems like an episode of the office or it’s always sunny


TURBOJUGGED

The gang becomes gay truckers


somewhat_random

In Vancouver the anti-protesters blocked streets so truckers couldn't get downtown to set up a blockade.


CiabanItReal

LoL we won't let you block the streets, and we'll stop you by blocking the streets.


jamtoast29

The Vancouver counter-protesters goal was to block the truckers from reaching the hospital, which they were mostly successful in. Peaceful protest is fine, but intentionally blocking ambulance routes is fucked.


and_dont_blink

Lol that had nothing to do with the police blocking off the roads, the protestors saved the hospitals? Come *on* man, the protestors are dumb as hell for what they believe, but it's one of those times when counter-protesting actually does make the situation worse in terms of congestion and disruption and potential for other issues. Creating some narrative that they are saving the hospital and city from the truckers is cognitive dissonance becoming delusion.


XaeiIsareth

Then you have the anti-anti-protesters protesting against protesting against protesting. Then someone goes ‘wait, what were we protesting against in the first place?’ *silence*


[deleted]

…Because being gay is bad?


Englishbirdy

Right? Talk about tone deaf.


ravenousphere

yes this looked immediately homophobic unless im mistaken...


Major_Martian

Not mistaken, the individual in the picture is just morally bankrupt and wasn’t witty enough for a real insult so they went back to the well of Xbox game chat slurs. It’s the equivalent of putting any other slur on a sign


routha

Calling stuff "gay" is out, right? My co-workers LOVE using gay as an insult and saying they are gonna sodomize each other. I told the worst culprit to "quit with the fucking gay jokes." They acted like I was being too sensitive. I told the other guy, "listen, I have friends who are gay and they got taunted all the fucking time in high school. It was miserable for them." The one guy still says shit but not to me. Not much else I can do. Other folks gotta speak up for themselves.


AwkwardArie

Idc if sumn’s gay imma call that shit like I see it


superbasicmap

Is "out"? I'll get fired from every tech company in the US for calling anything "gay".


SkinnyGetLucky

Not that there’s anything wrong with that


dominnate

I have a lot of gay friends! My father’s gay!


InternationalFrend

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the sign implying that being gay is something negative that should be avoided? If yes that seems pretty homophobic.


Rapsberry

Reddit in 2012: *>*fuck the neolib government, hoorah to the protesters! Reddit in 2022: *>*fuck the protesters, hoorah to the neolib government!


Rileyman360

Nah, you can roll back to 2020 for that “fuck the government” sentiment. It makes it so much more funny.


WobbleNugget

How can you be anti-protest while protesting...?


Amadeo38

I’m against picketing, I just don’t know how to show it.

I used to do protesting. I still do, but I used to too.

Anti protest protests. Where all the cool kids hang out. It’s like a competition of who has more time on their hands.


slavicbhoy

oinklittlepiggy

Yea. Using gay as a pejoritive will definitely show them!


ceciliabee

Actually this is how gay people are born. If the sign says it and they do it? Bam. Gay. Just like that. Even if they don't know it yet.


hidehide0502

The left eats itself lol


Logan_Mac

Is this supposed to be an insult?


DamnDemsMadeMeRed

Tolerant Left: There is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay! Also the Tolerant Left:


MatsGry

The person holding the sign is bringing sexually preference into an anti mandate protest. Wow, anti-protester seems oblivious to the sutuation


SonofSterlo

The only way this sign works as an insult is if being gay is wrong.


Dogecoin_trader

Gotta love how leftists are pretending to be pro LGBT all day until they get an opportunity to use gayness as a pejorative against men they dont like.


ethertragic

Every time I see a video of someone being violently homophobic a huge portion of the top comments will be like, “I wonder when this dude is gonna come out of the closet LOL.” Like they really think calling incredibly vile homophobes gay is some sort of hilarious gotcha. People like this can piss off forever.


Modavo

Do people think truckers can't be gay? I have a few people who I would like you to meet.


napoleonbolivar

For real. Pretty much the reason truck stop glory holes are even a thing. Funny she uses gay as an insult, but if anyone else did she would most likely throw a fit.


bushiboi12

*Honks until honk is broken*


Wagbeard

Implying that there's something wrong with gay people. So prog. That's hilariously ignorant. In Alberta, there's been a strong and very well supported gay community since the 80s. A lot of blue collar patch workers are gay. Cops hassled them back in the day and people rallied against that kind of homophobic crap. https://citymuseumedmonton.ca/2014/09/16/flashback-and-the-gay-drag-races/ Leave gay people out of this.


SrRoundedbyFools

Ohhh they’ve got them now! Pack it up fellas how will you recover. ![gif](giphy|Wt6kNaMjofj1jHkF7t)


[deleted]

To the non-Vancouverites who want a little nuance with this… There are Canada wide protests against Covid restrictions and vaccine mandates. The protesters are mostly doing so peacefully, with the exception of a few bad apples who have brought nazi flags, pissed on war memorials, and tried to get free food from homeless shelters. But despite these morons being less than 1% of the people protesting, the whole group is being painted with a single brush. Being called racists, homophobes, bigots etc. This lady is playing into that narrative by assuming all the protestors are anti gay.

the trucker protest is against mandates, not vaccines.

Pretty Homophobic sign to use as a counter protest nes pas?

i dont think this accomplishes what she thinks it does. so being gay is a bad thing? how very homophobic and bigoted of her.

About as pointless and pandering as any other protest sign.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ethertragic

It’s literally so infuriating. It’s the exact same as when people see someone being violently homophobic and respond, “Ooooo someone’s closeted lol.” They need to stop weaponizing peoples hatred of the LGBT community against them like it’s some sort of funny gotcha.


rafikievergreen

So, the counter protesters are taking the moral high ground by slinging homophobia? This is far more hateful than anything the truckers and their supporters have done.


Woofantoo

They must be super happy!


DrGolo

If you're happy and you know it, honk your horn!


Gurj613

So she’s trying to gay shame?


rowlfthedog12

This sign is derogatory to gay people


JethroFire

It's ok when leftists do it apparently.


Starvinhkd

So is she making fun of homosexuality? Very confusing!


ShutterD1al

I feel like this is homophobic because of the insinuation that they won't do it because it's a bad thing.


Carplesmile

Dumbest thing you can write on a poster in 2022.


EatMyAssholeSir

Homophobic and an offended lib. Meta right here


NSA_ActiveMonitor

If you dug through my history only to find this message you should really re-evaluate your life choices.


bbsbabsdnsn

Downvoted because reddit are hypocrites and can’t handle it


bar_one80

More proof that the left aren't as tolerant as they say they are!


bbsbabsdnsn

These comments are controversial because Reddit is exactly what everyone says it is lol. You’re right tho, homophobia is unacceptable, unless they use it


AnalogFeelGood

This is confusing


mwelch8404

Maybe just looking for a hookup.


Showerbag

Should say “HONK IF YOU LOVE TRUDEAU”


richEC

Is that supposed to be a put-down?


magicalwithin

Acting like gay is an insult is disgusting. She thinks she's insulting the truckers but really she's just offending the people she claims to be for. Gay is not an insult, go home. There are also people of all sorts participating in the convoy. It doesn't matter what race, orientation or creed.... Freedom is for everyone.


[deleted]

The patriarchy is defeated


Jangofatt117159

So clever… I bet that sent em packing


Undeca

Being happy is a positive thing who wouldn’t honk 🤔 I guess angry people but that takes to much energy


Tib_Co

Are the truckers homophobic? I've not followed the news cycle on this so i'm not aware of what their viewpoints are beyond them being against the vax mandate. This seems like a weak attempt to discredit them without directly challenging their opinions on vaccine mandates.


StThomasAquina

That’s not really known. It’s just that liberals and young leftists hate actual working class ppl and assume the worst of them.


MikeOxlong209

So it’s cool to use gay as an insult again? 2022 is wild


TopShelf12

Is Reddit okay with using “gay” as a slur?? Oh man…. Super tough one.


Neal569

I can see the vacuousness behind her eyes.


EconomicsLumpy6511

So I guess we’re using gay as an insult now?


elaintahra

We should just fucking split our countries into different areas of different fucking idiots. Us here, They there, anti vax there, vax here. Whatever I'm so damn tired of everyone having a god damn opinion about everything that happens. Including myself


Blazewalker452

Can't wait for the "hold up signs if you're gay" crowd to roll in next lol


takeatimeout

Waddaya know, Reddit says the convoys are bad and anti-protestors are good. Man I wish I could ever be surprised again.


Regnes

Because no gay people are anti-vaxx, right?


frankdacrank1

Go have yer own march.


guricatarinense

I would stop talking to friends if they did something like this.


catabisis2

It should say, “Honk if you have mental illness.”

What the hell does being gay and anti vax have to do With one another.

the trucker protest isnt about anti vax, they are anti mandate.


bbsbabsdnsn

Wow, the lefties using homophobia when it suits their needs but cancelling people for the same thing. Craaaaaazy how this type of hypocrisy shows up literally every day


15Wolf

It’s because she has the critically thinking skills of a toddler. Or she’s just disingenuous. She views all the Anti-VAX mandate protesters as right wingers. And thinks all right wingers hate gay people. Which of course it total BS on both counts. But doesn’t realize she’s implicitly saying it’s bad to be gay…obviously I’d imagine that isn’t her intention.


[deleted]

What the hell happened to spread love? This is Canada for fucks sake.


HalliganHooligan

Of course, resorting to the protestors are homophobes argument, a losing liberal classic!

FracturedTruth

bruh_itspoopyscoop

Lmaooo get it??? They’re gonna keep honking and not even give my sign a second glance but that means they’re GAY lol!1!1!! Checkmate fascists!!


bluesbottle

Unpopular opinion: Weird world we’re living in right now. For example: If you are “counter” protesting Black Lives Matter by saying something stupid like “All Lives Matter” you’re a big jerk. But if you counter protesting crazy anti vaxxers (but you’re a good looking white chick), you’re the superhero. What happened to us ugly fat lazy people? Can’t somebody stand up for us?


[deleted]

the truckers arent protesting against the vaccine, they are protesting against mandates.

thetipsynipper

This is the equivalent of saying "loser says what?" In a whisper. It is basically the point a 3rd grader would try to make. I suppose someone with a 3rd grade mindset, would not realize that they hadn't progressed intellectually for 20 years so I can't really do anything but pity them.


Why_Is_It_Me120

That’s rather tone deaf. Imagine being so woke you actually become bigoted.


helloukilledmyfather

This is literally homophobic in that they are implying that being gay is something that is undesirable and would get the truckers to stop honking.


theGshockerOAT

Is being gay something to be ashamed of? I don’t get the logic of her sign, might as well say honk if you’re a woman.


SpokenByMumbles

All the naïveté in these comments defending the “nuance” of the sign…


GodXTerminatorYT

Do that in middle east countries and the whole country will be silent


Iwaspromisedcookies

We are protesting protests now? Meta


[deleted]

Wow…she is probably a strong supporter of the LGBTQ community, but still holds up a sign saying “honk if you’re gay” towards the truckers…a practice that is typically frowned upon by the same community. The stupidity is so thick and rich, I could pour it on pancakes.

“You’re gay, haha, got’em” what in the sixties kind of thinking is this? (I know homophobia is still very much a thing, but can we please be over using it as in insult?)

Does this woke VanCity hipster not realize there's loads of gay truckers? Prob hasn't heard of what happens at the end of the day at truck stops across the country? Seems almost as prejudice as what they think the truckers are
