Have you got a cute account name, with emojis, and symbols.

Here's what it sounds like..

They probably aren't using #AltText either? That's their screen name, and Hello.. listen to it every reply?

Cute for sighted people.

Did anyone think of how screen readers, for visually impaired, read your replies? If you did, blind people might reply to you, if a simple Hello wasn't so untenable?

#HappyPride! In my rural community, I'd like to put up an Ally Flag in support, but local bigots would shoot it off a pole! (kid you not)

I'd like something, less obvious to the local bigots but recognized by the #LGBTQ community as a safe space & ally.

Anyone have any ideas on something that won't make either of us victims in these communities?

I know how they feel because I was confronted when I put up this flag, b/c ignoramuses thought it was a #Pride flag. I was mad!
What if it was?
