The group of LGBTQ activist climbers said the flag, which is 55 feet by 35 feet, is the largest ever displayed on the face of the world-famous rock climbing destination.

      It’s still disrespectful lol. People are there to enjoy nature and might not appreciate a flag on the side of the mountain

      I leave the city to get away from people, not be reminded of them

      What if it was an American flag? All you guys would suddenly be agreeing with me

          What do you think indigenous folks opinion is of this?

          Headline calls El capitan “iconic” but a better word is “sacred” and this is just white people behaviour

              I’d wager in this case you are wrong but unfortunately nobody asked them as per usual

                I don’t understand what has you so upset about this. El Capitan was not defaced. The flag is no longer there and left no lasting traces.

                  I’m just pointing out that it’s not the place for this and I know I’m right

                    There is no “right place” for protest. You’re arguing for the status quo. Protest is supposed to make people uncomfortable.

                    “I know I’m right.” That’s childish talk.

                    There is no right place to people who don’t like the message, and that’s the only reason for your opposition.

            I think permanently carving the faces of a bunch of genocidal slave owners into an indigenous people’s sacred mountain, is infinitely more offensive than a marginalized group temporarily putting up a flag.

            Indigenous folks opinions about the pride flag protest are most certainly varied. Collapsing all indigenous Peoples has having a single opinion is the real white people behavior.

              Oh yeah Mount Rushmore is a disgrace, obviously not even close to the same level

            Climbing it for fun is also “white people behavior.” You can’t really use an argument like that without considering what the base level of climbing it at all also means. This is an argument in made in bad faith. Either climbing it for fun is already a violation of it being sacred, in which case how is this any worse, or it isn’t, in which case how is this any worse?

                I this way, yes, it is. Yes, native people also probably climbed it, but it was spiritually significant, not for Instagram pictures or whatever.

                    I do it for fun. It’s a “white person thing” if hanging a flag is.

        Bro, if you want to get away from people, Yosemite ain’t it. It’s about as glamping as it gets you can get 5G signal basically across the whole valley. There’s cars and people everywhere, including whole ass traffic jams so that people can drive right up to bridal veil falls.
