After years of fighting to transform conservative Malta into a trailblazer in civil liberties, the LGBTIQ+ community has finally got what they always wanted… a welcome sign.

While the effort might have brought backlash online, the idea got us thinking. How about we start using welcome signs to start solving all of Malta’s other problems?

Here are a couple of our suggestions. You’re welcome:

1.Nazzjonalisti Welcome

Hopefully we can finally get a decent opposition.

2. Birds Welcome

An environmental pledge or a cunning ploy?

3. Trees Welcome

Because tarmac has become our national flower.

4. Women Welcome [In Parliament]

Our parliament is one big sausage fest… but maybe a sticker will fix things.

5. Not Welcome

Sometimes you just hate everyone and that’s OK. It happens to the best of us, especially if you live on an hot, overcrowded island.

6. Game of Thrones Spoilers Welcome

Can everyone just finish Season 8 already? I want to tell you about my crazy Jon Snow theory.

7. Vegans Welcome

A safe space for vegans to tell people how much better they are than everyone else? So wholesome.

8. Smokers Welcome

Because you’re fed up smoking outside in winter or you just hate sitting at an empty table while all the cool kids are outside

9. Well come off it

For that friend who talks too much shit about everything… including signs.

What other welcome signs do you think Malta needs?
