Ron DeSantis erases rainbow crosswalk in gay Key West in dead of night

by

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ self-declared war on rainbow crosswalks reached its latest stop in the Florida Keys on Tuesday when the Florida Department of Transportation painted over gay mecca Key West’s Pride display in the dead of night.

The erasure of the tiny crosswalk, measuring just six feet deep at the intersection of Duval and Petronia Streets, gave the lie to DeSantis’ claim that such street art is a traffic hazard in search of fatalities. Bikers and pedestrians at the narrow intersection regularly move faster than motorized traffic in the slow-paced resort’s gayborhood.
