Fascist asshole Ron DeSantis ordered the removal of a rainbow crosswalk in Orlando

The drift towards Nazism proceeds.

Fascist asshole Ron DeSantis ordered the removal of a rainbow crosswalk in Orlando that was part of the cityâ€™s Pulse Memorial meant to honor the 49 people who were murdered by a gunman at Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016.

Bigotry, hate and cruelty have always been the point.

Lihue, the capital city on Kauai. I walk on it several days a week. We had a Gay Pride Parade in June, too.

I feel so bad for LGBTQ in Florida and everywhere who have to live under Treasonous Terrorists.
