Only legislation will fix this.

Legislation can't fix stupid. We have to let people be able to hurt themselves or we are no better than slaves. Because at that point gov is dictating every aspect of our lives. Freedom isn't free from consequences, but it's worth it.

I picked up a 4-pack of Terraria and been enjoying it a lot. I never played Minecraft but I understand it's basically the same thing. I only picked it up to support the devs, no microtransactions and 12 years of updates for free. But it's a fun game so far.

Mainly local radio broadcasts,

I'm guessing you're not in the US? 'Cause here nearly everyone is owned by Clear Channel/iHeartMedia. Nothing of value is being discovered there.

Whatever you think the colors mean, they are a political symbol to others. Displaying political symbols when being paid as part of your job is commonly disallowed and is not limited to rainbow flags.

What part of being "openly gay" requires the display of gay pride colors? Colors that are very closely tied to the political movement?

"Flags are political symbols, borrowed from the vocabulary of nationalism, with similar overtones of citizenship, belonging, borders. They represent what the historian Benedict Anderson called “imagined communities”—self-constituted entities, united less by shared experiences than by shared beliefs in shared experiences. " https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2021/06/pride-flag-has-representation-problem/619273/

Even the designer of the flag considers it a political symbol.
"According to Gilbert Baker, the designer who, in 1978, first used a rainbow as a symbol for LGBT causes, “For the past almost 40 years, the rainbow flag has stood as a politically powerful, meaningful, and also aesthetically effective symbol.” https://www.letallplay.org/post/yes-fifa-lgbt-rainbow-is-political

Also with their ban of Pridetape now I see no reason to support this operation with my money.

Funny, that was what got me interested in watching the NFL this season. Nothing against pride tape but professional sports should NOT be about politics, from either side. That's what I'm supporting.
