Petition to install rainbow crosswalks to honor LGBTQ community (New Orleans)?

Now here's a colorful idea.
Three members of New Orleans' LGBTQ community have started a Care2 petition urging the city to install permanent rainbow crosswalks on Bourbon Street to honor LGBTQ people.
The petition has gathered more than 6,000 signatures of its goal of 7,000.
“New Orleans is a place that welcomes you with open arms to simply be who you are,” said Lizzy Shephard, one of the petition's authors. “A rainbow is one beautiful way to show support for the gumbo mix of culture and people that makes our city so great.”
Two Care2 petitions reportedly were successful this month in getting rainbow crosswalks installed in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. In Washington, a petition that gathered over 12,000 signatures resulted in the nation’s first transgender pride crosswalk, though it is not permanent.

Seems like a productive use of tax dollars.

Nice try but this is a bit much.

I can see paint stripper accidentally spilling on this crosswalk. Hell it will be covered in blood in the first weekend anyway.

Why are we honoring people for taking a dick up their arse?

Gays gentrify, culcha decays.
I'm more inclined to honor one than the other.
Let em have it..

I would seriously like to think this was a joke. But it's not. I really hope y'all don't go through with this silliness.

Put it on the intersection dividing Bourbon between the straight area and all the gay bars and it will serve a dual purpose.

This sounds so NOLA.

Had a problem with removing the statues, no problem with this though.

I'd be a j-walker fo sho.

Is this the new trend?
Posted on 6/19/17 at 10:35 am to Will Cover
frick them
You're not special and no one gives a shite that you're gay.
Can't these people just live their lives without constantly crying for attention?

I have no problem with this only if it is limited to one or two and they are at Bourbon and St. Ann by the Pub and Oz. People that bitch about this will probably never even see the crosswalk.
