This LGBTQ+ ally had the best response to the bigot who destroyed his Pride flag

Over on TikTok, LGBTQ+ ally Addison Foskey has shown that bigotry doesn’t always win. When somebody vandalised the Pride flag that had been on his lawn, Addison posted this pledge –

@addison.foskey Gonna be able to see our house from SPACE!!! 🌈 #pride #lgbtq #lgbtqplus #rainbows #humanrights #prideflag #AmazonVirtualTryOn #CatchChobaniOatmilk #sweetrevenge #clonedsim #addisonfoskey #getready ♬ original sound – ClonedSIM

TikTok users saw what had happened and how he intended to fight back, so they began donating flags to help out.

@addison.foskey Yup…. 🏳️‍🌈 #pride #pride2022🏳️‍🌈 #ally #lgbtqplus #prideflag #nobigotsallowed #lgbtqally #clonedsim #addisonfoskey #sonofabitch #paintitrainbow #🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 ♬ Hair Of The Dog (Album Version) – Britny Fox

After a live broadcast in which flags were dedicated to TikTok users and their families, including many who had donated money to help decorate the yard, this was what it looked like.

@addison.foskey Thank you to everyone who dropped into the Live!! It went AMAZINGLY well!!! Might do it again tomorrow, weather permitting! #live #love #lgbtq #rain #rainbow #clonedsim ♬ original sound – ClonedSIM

People – though presumably not the unknown bigot – loved the effect, and the message behind it.

Someone made this great point about the weather.
