    i have for about 6 weeks a rainbow sticker on my car (a rainbow kangaroo, its australia you know). i have had a number of guys try to pick me up in the traffic and a number of other drivers abuse me (not as many as the pickup attempts), i tell others about the abuse and the answer is generally take the sticker off your just asking for trouble this statement from other gays as well, i couldnt believe that response from gays, should i remove the sticker or put a bigger sticker on the car. (the abuse does not worry me i just blow them a kiss).

    I say keep it! If the abuse doesn't worry you then forget about it!

    Go you for having the courage! The thing stopping me from putting a gay pride sticker on my car is the possibility of it being vandalised. I have no idea how likely that is - but I'd rather not risk it personally.

    PS - Just noticed you live in Warburton. KUDOS! Lilydale/Seville/Warbuton general area is pretty dang homophobic.

    Go for bigger one:grin:

    But even if you are cool with all abuses, be carefull. I mean when you felt the abuses got worse, maybe it's time to take it off...

    Haha, if it doesn't bother you, go for the bigger one. That's so great. I think I love you.

    Just don't get yourself hurt.
