In the Age of Trump, Put Your LGBTQ Values On the Street

Phoenix is about to join other cities such as Seattle, Key West, West Hollywood, Miami Beach, Philadelphia, Long Beach, Ottawa, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Toronto in installing rainbow colored crosswalks to celebrate LGBTQ pride. The city council voted unanimously to allow LGBTQ organizations, who will also pay to maintain the vibrant colors, to give the existing crosswalks a makeover.

“The time is right to move this proposal forward to bring rainbow crosswalks … so that our city can continue to embrace and thrive in our diversity and our inclusion and in welcoming all people who wish to visit, live in, work in, build a business in or simply enjoy the city of Phoenix,” Michael Fornelli, Phoenix Pride executive director, told the Arizona Republic.
