Speaking as a foreigner, this shit is so profoundly pathetic, United States. Get your fucking shit together. Not only should you all be well past shitting all over the queer community, but dispatching cops to guard crosswalks in any capacity other than ensuring school kids using them safely after school should embarrass everyone on both sides of the aisle.

Edit: *safely

Good use of tax money. They should also help usher kids to factories while at it.

I didn't like Florida that much when I lived there in the 80s and 90s. It sounds like it's gotten worse.

Id ask what's stopping people from standing in the vicinity with a big box of chalk but thats probably a great way to get chalk made illegal.

Last guy, we're gonna keep coming back. 👍

gotta keep those crosswalks from being too gay!

In my town, they said the rainbow colors are not the state description of crosswalks, might actually, effectively, erase the legal crosswalk, are confusing to drivers, and would increase pedestrian deaths. There's always some bullshit rationalization for being the worst possible person.

Goddammit, I thought this was going to be an Onion type article. It wasn't.

While I'm 110% supportive of LGBT+, I don't think people painting crosswalks anyway they like is OK. They are safety features, recognizable from a distance, and it's not far fetched to think that casualties may occur. Painting official building's walls could be an alternative, for example. Both are technically vandalism, but these walls would not be a hazard.

Vertical faces of entrance steps? that'd be cool!

i understand this crosswalk has meaning, but until it is unguarded, let all unguarded crosswalks be rainbows! : D

be safe out there <3

These comments are wild smh
