29. I think it's a trend...

We've seen variations of "all are welcome" since Trump came onto the scene.

As I mentioned in the OP, with the Red Hen controversy in mind -- and knowing how the average racist, bigoted Trump supporter thinks -- I knew the message had to go beyond conveying that all are welcome. Because, as the Red Hen showed with Sarah Sanders, people who work against diversity and inclusion and who attack anyone they deem The Other should not welcome everywhere. I know Trumpers and alt-right types are belligerent and try to crash such "welcoming" spaces and cause trouble, just to be belligerent and to make themselves the victims -- "But you said EVERYONE is welcome."

I tried to create something that conveys that everyone who believes in diversity and inclusion and belonging -- the opposite of Othering -- is welcome in this space.
