A gay bar in St. Petersburg, Florida, has responded to the removal of rainbow crosswalks across the state, ordered by the Republican Governor Ron DeSantis.
In line with a new ban on “non-compliant pavement surface markings”, DeSantis Administration has written to local cities in recent weeks demanding they remove rainbow crosswalks, included the rainbow crosswalk beside the site of Pulse nightclub in Orlando, in memorial to those who were murdered at the venue in 2016.
As a reaction, the St. Petersburg gay bar Cocktail St. Pete has decided to refresh its window decals. If DeSantis wants rainbows removed from the streets of Florida, this bar is fighting back, its windows are ablaze with rainbows.
On Instagram, the bar said, “Last night the state painted over the Pulse Memorial Crosswalk! We will not stand by and be erased!!! Next week we will install new graphics across the front of our building putting our PRIDE on display. We are proud and will not fight quietly.”
Won't be erased by DeSantis!!!
