My nesting partner and I had a serious discussion before even starting to get estimates on this. We are well aware that this does make us even more of a target than we already were, but at the same time we know how much a loud public statement can mean to someone afraid to be themselves or feeling like they’re alone.
And yes, we have had a few neighbors express how much they like it!

that is absolutely wonderful! 
as @Grey_Devil said above, i would definitely come to introduce myself.
“hi! i’m new to the neighborhood and wanted to say hello! i baked you a loaf of bread and brought a bottle of wine.”

That’s so awesome! There’s a house in town here painted in the colours of the nonbinary flag and my nonbinary 9 year old gets so excited every time we drive by. It’s so nice to see yourself represented out in the world, even if it’s just a paint scheme.

That’s out of date. I’m going to work with UK currency and minimum wage, because that’s easier for me.
Bob Cratchit would be making about £16/hr in 2021. The current minimum wage is £11.44 (going up to £12.21 next year).
Tory? Labour? They are all miserly bastards.

“Spirit,” said Scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, “tell me if Tiny Tim will live.”
“I see the NHS and an empty seat,” replied the Ghost, “and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these budgets remain unaltered by the Future, the child will die.”
