In case you haven’t heard, there was recently an order from the U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to un-rainbow-ify crosswalks, supposedly for “safety” reasons. The colorful crosswalks, they argue, risk making drivers too distracted by their repressed gay urges to drive in a proper manner (at least, I assume that’s what’s going on — I haven’t actually read the complaint. I’ve got TV to watch!).

And so, states like Florida have begun painting over their rainbow crosswalks. The problem, however, is that people really like these rainbow crosswalks — who wouldn’t? They’re fun! — and so, they’ve started to paint them back to rainbow colors.

In order to prevent this from happening, Florida has hired crossing guards — no, not people to help citizens use the crosswalk, but people hired to literally guard certain crossings and prevent them from being turned rainbow-colored.

Yet another marvelous day in the Land of the Free!
