I agree with goons saying introduce yourself, express then offer to buy them a flag. If they say "don't bother," insist, but respect their decision. Congrats you own a pride flag. You're an ally, only cowards don't try.

nah this is weirder. it's drawing attention to you being kind enough to ask, making them decide if they want to impose by agreeing. if someone asked me something like that i would absolutely say no, just automatically, because it's not necessary. a flag like that is a symbol of pride, right? it's kind of something you do for yourself, and costs little. if they say yes, then they might feel obligated to put it up to be polite, and is attached to you now.

no upside.

but if someone just went and did it i'd feel pretty nice.

just do it quietly or don't. leave it up to them to decide what to do and think about the mysterious flag gift. at the least, it'll even out it getting stolen.

wear the flag as underwear and when you tell your neighbor you have a flag for them but you aren't obviously holding one, they'll glance around curiously. and that's when you'll stretch slyly causing your shirt to rise above your waist revealing firm, toned abs and the hint of a rainbow garment peeking out from your tight black jeans. in a moment they'll also notice the button is unfastened and the zipper is straining, threatening to fall at even the slightest touch. as their eyes helplessly linger on the zipper, their subconscious registers subtle throbbing beneath as you begin to swell with excitement at the thought of being on display for a stranger.

time stands still as you hold the pose, daring a response. your body tingles and the hair on your neck is standing. the next move is theirs.

If you are handy with a sewing machine, buy a pride flag, a leatherpride flag and a thin blue line flag.

First line up the flags. Cut out the "stars" field. You will be using the leather pride flag for this section. Then cut up the flags as you wish (while keeping them laid flat and aligned) and then sew them back together. This is important: make sure the thin blue line is clearly visible through the final product. You'll be tempted to exclude the other more neutral fields from the thin blue line flag but you can artfully transition from pride to leather pride to thin blue line then smash to pride for a nice bit of contrast. Makes a real visual statement.

Unless you want to buy just one more flag. I recommend the Malaysian flag but you could also use the flag of your state. Then you can make a chonking flag that is 4x the size of the regular flag by just sewing all the random bits together but keeping the star field together in a 2x2 square. Fly that in their yard. Use gold thread. Add a gold fringe.

This is the answer. If they don’t want the replacement flag, fly it yourself or return it.

Wear rainbow suspenders everytime you leave the house. When you see your neighbors, smile at them and give a thumbs up, but never -and this is crucial - speak a word to them.

If you're introducing yourself for the first time the first rule is to take some home baked goods, like a plate of brownies.

Then just be honest like your OP. Hi, I'm your neighbor for years, and I wanted to let you know I always liked seeing your flag because I thought it made neighborhood a better place. I was sad to hear it got torn down.

You can offer a new flag or not, but let them know you are always good for brownies if needed.

Most overthought thread ever with dumbass replies from people who prob have absurd social anxiety theorycrafting inane poo poo.

If you did it they would prob think it's cool of you, there's no reason to think otherwise. If it ends up awkward they'd prob still appreciate the gesture. The gently caress is up with people saying if you didn't do some hyperspecific thing it'd be weird? Jesus christ man just do something nice for someone without tormenting yourself over it

you could just give it to them anonymously somehow. either post it to them or slip it through the door at a quiet moment.

then they'll be like 'who sent this? could be anyone around herel'.

you'll know it was you and feel good and they might enjoy not knowing more.

that's what i'd do.

This is probably what I'll end up doing.

Yes. I'm actually pretty decent most of the times, but this feels trickier.

I just got the flag yesterday. I may still go forward with the original plan. But dropping it on their porch in the middle of the night is more my style. I haven't decided yet.


Alas, I have no horse cum to paint my house with, nor do I know enough local gays to cum soak the flag.

Thank you for your inputs! I guess I didn't need super quick attention, but I appreciate it, nonetheless.


apropos of nothing, I pulled a muscle in my back, and apparently it is a muscle that flexes when I poop. therefore, I can't push hard when I poop. it sucks.

This isn’t difficult, OP. Walk over and ring their doorbell. When they answer, introduce yourself as their neighbor, say you heard about the flag vandalism and wanted to offer a replacement as a token of solidarity. Smile, look them in the eyes while you talk and try not to be too weird. Lastly, and this is crucial, have your dick hanging out throughout the entire interaction.

It’s called being neighborly and it’s not rocket science.
