Same. If my stickers serve as a self-filter away from companies I'd rather not work at, or people I'd rather not work with, then that's a positive thing for me.

If someone's offended by, for example, a rainbow sticker on my laptop, well I'd rather not work with them, or for that company. I'll look elsewhere.

I've never seen anyone get offended by a rainbow sticker at work, at least not anywhere I've ever worked.

I have seen things that came across as misogynistic or very sexually suggestive, however, and the employee had to be asked to remove them.

There are plenty of cases where the problem really is with the employee and the sticker, not the people taking offense.

You've never seen anyone get outwardly offended but I'm sure there have been a few. It's just a statistical probability. I fully support the cause and would not be offended but I encounter people everyday who most certainly are.

Just tell those people you're a big fan of Noah and the Old Testament. Then ask them about why they are wearing a cotton blend shirt.
