I like the idea of them, but frankly the London ones are a poor design IMO — the male/female symbols are too much of a departure from the expected iconography. It also represents a hazard for the colourblind. The other cities listed here have managed to incorporate diversity while still maintaining clear communication.
Spotted in London. There were some for gay, lesbian and straight.
I'm guessing trafalgar square or thereabouts, the side closest to Soho.
Soho (and if you're going by underground stations, Tottenham Court Road/Leicester Square) is the gay part of london... historically at least, I haven't lived there for a while and never tried to check out the gay scene there for mostly obvious reasons.
Is anyone else bothered by how unaligned this looks?
Yes
is this loss
no
this is gain
Tell me you don't understand Mandarim without telling me how many calories there are in a banana split
Well it's not straight..
so what since i'm a straight dude i'm just stuck at that intersection until i die or a nice lesbian passerby accompanies me across the street?
Yep, no other option. We don't make the rules.
No, you just need to come to terms with your urge to be a woman.
It is more difficult for gay men who have to accept the fact that women are not gross.
You could try drag. Or jaywalking.
say gex
gex
(unrelated) wait that instance even exists?!
well, didn't knew an instance for modded mc existed.
I didn't check whether something named gregtech exists when registering my domain ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Though you can use it for modded mc posting, I'm not going to censor anyone
well, this was a weird interaction
Not at all (at least as far as I know, did I say anything weird?)
No, it's on my side.
(I probably played too much modded minecraft. Or this is just a coincidence. Or both.)
Munich does this too. https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/15/europe/gallery/munich-pride-traffic-lights-july
Stockholm too

I wonder how archeologists will explain this sign
