@pinknews: Protestors in Orlando, Florida, have reinstated the rainbow crosswalk memorial outside the abandoned Pulse nightclub — just one day after it was removed under a Trump directive backed by governor Ron DeSantis. Over a hundred activists took to the crosswalk early on Friday 22 August to colour the rainbow back in using chalk.The crosswalk honours the 49 victims of the 2016 Pulse sh00ting, the deadliest attack on LGBTQ+ people in U.S. history. Underneath footage of the DIY-restoration shared on social media, one commenter called Robin said: “Love that they recolored it in the daylight when it was paved over in the dark of night... light wins over darkness.” #lgbtqia #Pride #florida #orlando #transrights #usnews

It isn’t political it’s a memorial 🌈

If you want to honor the victims paint something on the side of a building maybe the nightclub or I don’t know donate a bench with everybody’s name on it

CloudCat69 :

Imagine Ron DeSantis being so sensitive that he's offended by a rainbow

Mark :

Thank God there are people with pride and common sense. Since when should we not honor lives lost to hatred.

Matt Krechel :

I don’t think it was political messaging, I think it was a memorial.

Guys it's not about the fact that they turned the sidewalk black and white the problem is that it was part of a memorial to honor victims but Ron DeSantis thought it was political
