Got it .

Now I feel like I want to use some crayons. But it wouldn't make much sense to do it here .

Anyway, I support the idea.

I like the idea, Jodi, but I feel it opens itself up to all kinds of nastiness.

A supporter draws a rainbow, an opponent defaces said rainbow, a supporter sees defaced rainbow and writes a nasty note, opponent tops it with incredibly vile invective..., and so on and so forth. Now, it would probably stop at the defaced rainbow stage but that's still not a good stage to stop at.

Also there's the matter of passing that money on, say you get a twenty with a defaced rainbow on it, it's still money, still wants to be spent, but the person accepting that bill might think you defaced that rainbow and assume you're a nasty homophobe. They might not even accept the money.

Then you have the issue of other issues, and what issues are appropriate to be supported this way, and who is to say what is appropriate? Anti-racism is okay but white supremacy isn't (and since it's illegal in both cases it would be against the first amendment as I understand it to only crack down on the white supremacists and not also the people who are for good race relations). And how about a more nuanced but still inflamatory issue; military spending as an example.

Money is apolitical (as a physical thing, even though I realize money can buy politicians) and should probably remain that way.

But I do like the thought....

Ah. There's a cool program that I have informally participated in from time to time. A book swap of sorts wherein you leave a book in a public place, somebody else picks it up and reads it and then leaves it somewhere else and each time you write your name, where you are and when you read it. I've seen books that have travelled the world. My informal participation is in just leaving books around from time to time, I don't bother with writing information in them, just want to share the book.

So if you drew a rainbow on the inside front cover as part of your information and the next person agreed they could add a rainbow and so on. But if it gets vandalized by homophodes you can toss the book and no real loss (I love books as words but I don't care about the actual physical book) but with money it would be like a hot potato, hoping someone will take it off your hands without seeing the nastiness.

True, a bit too small scale but I like this thought too.
