As fast as they remove them, the people are painting them back.
There has been some reports circulating about the crosswalks being repainted overnight in protest. Newsweek reported...
The restoration was led by local community members and LGBTQ+ advocates who gathered at the intersection following the overnight state-directed repainting. In a video shared to social media by the account @jeremy_rodrigue, people can be seen DIY-ing the rainbow crosswalk and drawing the colors back onto the ground."While this attack was meant to demoralize us and push us back in the closet, Orlando refused to be erased," Democratic state Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith, who became the first openly gay Latino elected to the Florida legislature in 2016, told Newsweek. "It was inspiring to see so many local residents spring into action in response to the Governor's cowardly abuse of power."
Stand Up Fight Back!
What they have really done is to unify the community. Not just the LGBTQ community but also the public who are seeing as harassment of us.
