End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~ BREAKING: LA City Council members have removed "No U-Turn" traffic signs in a gay neighborhood.
They say the signs were homophobic.
No, this is not satire.

That's right. You heard correctly. 'No U-Turn' signs are now 'homophobic.' And, yes, they are being serious.
Because we are not leftists, we want to be fair about this story, so here is a little historical context. In the neighborhood in question here, Silver Lake, there used to be signs labeled 'No Cruising' under the No U-Turn signs in the late 1990s. It seems pretty obvious that those signs were directed at detering the gay community away from the neighborhood back then.
But all those 'No Cruising' signs were taken down long ago. But that wasn't good enough.
Apparently, over the past 20 years, 'No U-Turn' signs became homophobic by association?
We don't know. We're done trying to make sense of this nonsense. We'd prefer just to mock it.

Given the fact that one of the people featured in the video is a man dressed as a woman who goes by the name 'Maebe A. Girl,' you're not going to get any argument from us there.
Schadenfreudelish (@aggierican) ~ I'm amazed they/them/whatever couldn't pick a name.
And actual Los Angeles City Councilmembers ATTENDED this debacle. Wow, it's a good thing L.A. doesn't have any other pressing issues for its City Council to be concerned about.
@CatsandFoodyall-Agent 16427 (@I10isWestbound) ~ LA is an absolute dumpster fire.
And they wonder why people everywhere are doing donuts with their trucks or scooters on 'pride' flags painted on the street.
And why did no one consider the legitimate traffic safety concerns that a 'No U-Turn' sign would address?

We can imagine the news report: 'It was a very INCLUSIVE eight-car pileup today in Silver Lake.'
Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) ~ You truly cannot even parody these psychos anymore. Their descent into madness is too fast for the satirist to stay in front of.
We're not sure if even The Babylon Bee could have predicted or come up with this one.
James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) ~ Irony is dead.
All that is left is pure, naked farce.
And Don't Call Me Shirley (@Meme_Behavior) ~ Wait until they see these signs:
Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) ~ They’re being replaced by the more gay friendly “Parking In Rear” signs.
Yeah, apparently zzshart complained that these signs were a real buzzkill for his cuddle buddy parties, so he had them replaced with ...
Karla (@Greco611) ~ Everyday it gets stupider ... every day!
And every time we think it can't get any MORE stupid, the leftists just come up and say, 'Hold our spicy peach margaritas.'
Adam Johnston (@ConquestTheory) ~ Our culture needs to do a U-Turn ... quickly.
