We wrote recently about the despicable behavior of De Santis and The Orange Man in The White House who decided that rainbow crosswalks are a threat to roadway safety.  Even more shameful is that one of the crosswalks targeted is part of the Pulse Remembrance Memorial in Orlando, honoring the 49 lives – most of them LGBTQ and Latin. : in one of the deadliest acts of hate violence in U.S. history

But today, for a change, \ there is good news from Orlando as the city has announced plans to purchase the Pulse nightclub site and build a permanent memorial honoring the 49 lives lost in 2016.

This is an important step toward remembrance and healing – but the fight isn’t over.  Florida officials still need to take responsibility and restore the rainbow crosswalk that once stood outside Pulse – a powerful symbol of pride and resistance that was removed under a directive from the Trump administration.
