Thanks for publishing my photo Common Dreams (@CommonDreams). As I wrote recently (see: Photo Friday: In Washington, DC, health care does what policy makers can’t…until later) symbols like the ribbon, the rainbow pride flag, the transgender pride flag, are important signals of visibility, acceptance, and caring, and I’ve photographed the ribbon every year that it’s appeared on the White House portico since 2010. It’s actually interesting how the displays of these symbols track compassion and caring, even loosely.

Final straw, they say, was president’s pushing of healthcare legislation that would deal devastating blow to HIV community
