APPLETON - Rainbows filled the sidewalk and honks from passing cars rang out as members and allies of the LGBTQ community gathered in downtown Appleton Saturday afternoon to protest the use of a homophobic slur on an nearby building s electronic sign.
About 150 people attended the protest at 200 N. Richmond St., where an electronic sign earlier in the week displayed a picture of former U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy and a series of messages that read Where did the f -s . Put My Head? . I m Joe McCarthey (sic) . I was right.
Saturday, the sign had a new message, reading, If you care what I think it s evil upon you. If you care what you think you are sick.
