@repeattofade we need (yet) another rainbow flag specifically for including buses

Chadee the Dream Witch 🌕 🌊

@repeattofade Apparently buses can drive on BOTH sides of the street.

mk

@repeattofade

bi = binary = two ?

ok. so there're just two genders.

garry

@marnanel @mk or my favourite example; bisexual implies there are two genders, in the same way bilingual means there are two languages

DELETED

@repeattofade Why not? Bi buses need their representation too.

DELETED

@repeattofade
Wait, is it everyone exept buses, or only buses can pass? 🤔

Inky :verified_trans:

@repeattofade I love how they plan for it to be permanent enough that they got a custom solid sign made.

Inky :verified_trans:

@marnanel It's not uncommon for LGBT+ representation to be temporary/seasonal, unfortunately...

marnanel

@inky_skink_art Manchester has its faults, but the queer scene isn't one of them :)

MetalTigerDude

@repeattofade Uh oh. The next big culture war is on the horizon.

@repeattofade RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT ᵉˣᶜᵉᵖᵗ ᵇᵘˢᵉˢ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵇᶦᵏᵉˢ

CautionWIP🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦🕎

@repeattofade Seriously. There’s inclusiveness and then there’s madness.

zeichenreihe

@repeattofade takes a piece of paper, prints "cars" on it, glues it over the sign there...

xek (👻🏴‍☠️👻)

@repeattofade What else could the B stand for? Lesbian, Gay, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Ace… That covers all the sexualities, right?

Just like how generations go straight from Boomers to Millenials.

Adam

@germ @repeattofade Hopefully the fame won’t go to his head 😁

Kim Possible

@repeattofade Is this a form of Renaissance Butch? I feel like I don't know my gay terms anymore. 😎

DELETED

@repeattofade I was told "bussy" meant hot bus tailpipe 🙁

Jesse

@repeattofade ummm...pretty sure that sign says that buses are welcome, but all other traffic must turn left.

It makes sense, buses are already part of the leftist gay agenda. But cars need to turn a lot more left before they'll be welcome.

Tsutsuku (he/they)

@repeattofade
I just scared the shit out of my husband laughing too hard and he heard me from upstairs and thought I was having trouble breathing. Which I was, but because I was laughing.

Caddi

@repeattofade I laughed out loud at that. I'm in a block of flats (apartments) and it's 4am.

DoomsdaysCW

@repeattofade Lol! Makes me think of what my late uncle used to say after I came out to my family -- "I have nothing against BLT people." Um, okay. Thanks?

garry

@DoomsdaysCW sandwich inclusivity matters 💖

Ami Angelwings

@repeattofade @SallyStrange yes, bisexuals sit for buses because standing is tiring

Coyoty

@repeattofade It stands for bi cyclists. They don't pollute as much.

Rachel Rawlings

@repeattofade If I read the sign correctly, only buses are allowed to go straight.

Misha Van Mollusq 🏳️‍⚧️ ♀

@repeattofade with Bisexuality you are either On The Bus or Off The Bus

synlogic

@repeattofade blatant anti-bus discrimination. blocked and reported. er I mean balked and retorted

Aglaia89 🏳️‍⚧️ :verified:

@repeattofade Wait, LGBTIQA+ does not stand for Lorries, Gabelstapler, Buses, Trucks, Quads, Indicars and Automobils?

Adrian

@repeattofade It's just occurred to me that LGBTQIA+ could be more concisely replaced by -S

Fluffy_Fox

@repeattofade It could if people were inclusive enough, but they aren't, and never will be.

RealSolo

@repeattofade

Of course it does!!

Lorries. ✅
Gondolas ✅
Busses ✅
Trains ✅
Quad Bikes ✅
Ice boats ✅
Amphibians ✅
+

Now that we have this settled

😶

Tim Richards

@repeattofade So *that's* what it stands for! ;)
L = Light rail
G = Gliders
B = Buses
T = Trains
Q = Quad bikes
I = Icebreakers
A = Airships

DELETED

@repeattofade Okay but like ~25% of the time *rocks fall on me*

Kat

@repeattofade
No B without the T (buses without the trains).

Sparky 💡

@repeattofade I may or may not have misread that slightly before checking the image.

Riedler

@repeattofade ok but that flag goes hard. whoever designed that deserves a medal

Shards

@repeattofade 🧚‍♀️
Could you say that we don’t truck with them? 😛

DELETED

@repeattofade Buses are totally also welcome in Ireland

Oliver D. Reithmaier

@repeattofade I always thought it was limousines, gravel bikes, buses, trucks, quads, interrail, airplanes+

Jessica Stewart

@repeattofade I needed that, laughed and laughed, thank you xx

L.Yo :startrek: :linuxmintnew:

@repeattofade Or maybe it does? Every year, a new flag will get sales up on flags. 🙄

Adrian Morales

@repeattofade Amaxophobia, the fear of being in a vehicle either as a passenger or a driver, is growing.

More and more people are considering e-scooters or bicycles as a cheaper, healthier alternative to both themselves and the planet.

v3x

@repeattofade
We aren't BERFs, we're just transportation-critical

MAQ

@repeattofade swapping the B for busses instead of bisexual is such a insult

Primo

@repeattofade so much for the tolerant left smh...
°J°

Gaston T. Dorren

@repeattofade Not buses, but bi - which is the Latinate plural of bus.

Baroque Mongoose

@repeattofade That reminds me of a similar juxtaposition of signs I saw many years ago. The sign on top read "Ladies' toilet", and the sign underneath it read "Unsuitable for coaches".

Ben Evans

@repeattofade We've been saying for years that tramsphobic arseholes wouldn't never stop there, and they'd be coming for the rest of us sooner or later.

Jonathan👣🚲

@repeattofade If multiple of a syllabus are syllabi, aren’t multiple of a bus bi?

Tomomi

@repeattofade poor buses😂🤣. We need to change that sign.😂🤪

Androcat

@repeattofade It's very strange, most LGBTQIA+ I know fecking love buses.

élise :verifiedenby:

@repeattofade but the T stands for trains :trainpats: :flag_transgender:

mr_camino

@repeattofade No, this means everyone is invited except buses 😂

Andrew Farmer

@repeattofade those bloody BERFS and their anti bus rhetoric makes me sick

Luna Saphira Dragofelis
@repeattofade this is discriminating about queer people who like buses /joking
Catherine Kehl

@repeattofade at least the buses are *allowed* to go straight. It would be awkward, else.

śmigoł 😼

@repeattofade actually, "B" stands for bussies.
