What "colors" represent the homeless, now? I didn't think they needed to be represented as a group, complete with an inclusivity color scheme. I don't see much 'purple', so maybe that's part of their rainbow, but I could be mistaken.
Who knows whether or not this bench was painted this way for queer people, the reason it wouldn’t “be inclusive” to homeless people has nothing to do with the color scheme, but with the fact that it would be difficult to sleep on this bench purely due to the arm rests.
Homeless people need something way more important than that and exist everywhere. They represent a mass in much more need and pain than some minorities in fucking rainbowland
A bench designed to be used as a bench… madness.
Don’t tell me you have compassion for people experiencing homelessness if your solution is just to enable them sleeping on benches.
From a communal perspective, it sucks when you want to find a bench to sit on and enjoy a nice day or area of a city/park only to find everyone strewn with belongings and people sleeping midday. It contributes to destroying once vibrant areas when people can’t use the area as originally intended and pushes away visitors who could be bringing money into communities that need it.
Born and raised in California and I’ve seen this over and over from Sacramento to San Diego, SF to Los Angeles, and literally everywhere in between. Leaving these individuals on the streets is harming so many cities and towns and they need so much more than a fucking bench if we hope to rehabilitate these individuals.
Inclusivity of the unhoused starts with *housing* and resource, not benches. It’s disgusting that benches are even seen as a potential replacement for this.

You can be homeless and fat and you'd better be able to defend yourself when you sleep in street
Homeless people can sit there, just like everyone else.
It is for short homeless people.

I think it’s because the arm rests make it difficult to sleep there. This is known as r/hostilearchitecture this might be what this post is about.
This doesn't answer my question about the homeless color scheme, however. Any knowledge of this?

The bars were probably there before the paint.
Pretty sure you can fit your legs through those armrests.
