Straight Oklahoma Country Boy\u2019s Pride Month Pickup Truck Goes Viral<\/b><\/p>\n

Cody Barlow \/ Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oklahoman ally Cody Barlow decorated his pickup truck in a rainbow flag to show that \u201cnot all country boys<\/a> are bigots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wrote Barlow on Facebook: \u201cFound a way to show my support for pride month. I simply bought rolls of brightly colored duct tape and ran them across my tailgate in the design of the pride flag, and added some mailbox letters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is important to me, not only because I have family and friends that are LGBTQ+, but also because countless people have dealt with hatred and judgement simply for who they are, and\/or who they love, for far too long,\u201d added Barlow. \u201cObviously doing this isn\u2019t going to change the minds of those who are intolerant, but hopefully it can help drown out the hatred with love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI live<\/a> in a rural area in Oklahoma, surrounded by small towns in every direction, and I\u2019m sure this is not a very welcome message around here,\u201d he explained, \u201cbut this is going to be displayed on my truck for the entire month of June in support of pride month. I don\u2019t think it is necessary to say, but for all intents and purposes I am a straight man<\/a> that grew up here in Oklahoma. I love taking my truck mudding, going fishing, swimming at the lake, floating the river, and several other \u2018country\u2019 activities. It doesn\u2019t matter what negativity I receive for supporting this. I hope that this can help even the slightest bit to encourage and support at least one person that needs it. I hope everyone finds their inner strength to finally live<\/a> life loud and proud without regard for the negativity of ignorant people. Happy pride month!\u201d<\/p>\n
