> why should I have to declare that and it not just be assumed?

That’s an easy question with an easy answer.

Because it can’t be assumed. Because there are people (who own businesses) who are not friendly to LGBTQ+ people. And people (such as LGBTQ people) may want to find or avoid certain places.

Is a good-faith interpretation of such a signal that it would be some sort of silly performative measure?
