The traditional weapon for Pride, as I understand it, is a brick, correct?

And what state so I can avoid it? I want out of my state (Ohio) and I'm more inclined to take someone's personal experience in mind than some random post saying "oh X state is soOOooOo supportive".

nice reference, i was thinking more along the lines of a stun gun or knife, or even a small firearm.

this was in Austin, TX, which 1) should explain why i think bringing a firearm to a parade is appropriate, and 2) i shouldn't have to say don't go to Texas, not even with the justification that "well Austin is more progressive". it is not progressive it's neoliberal af and full of douchebag techbros and yuppies. go west or east, don't go south.

DEFINITELY no plans for Texas, bad enough I was born there, lucky to have left the state before I was even 5 years old

Hell I have no plans to live further south than Ohio, I don't handle "hot" or... sunlight.

i wouldn't call that a weapon, in the context that it was used. more of a specialty tool and now a symbol.
