LGBTQ petition demands permanent 'rainbow crosswalks' in cities across the country

LGBTQ activists in cities across the country are calling for city officials to create "rainbow crosswalks" to "honor the LGBTQ community."

"Rainbow crosswalks" are public crosswalks that have been repainted in rainbow colors, which have been adopted by the LGBTQ community as a symbol of greater acceptance and rights for LGBTQ causes and beliefs.

Activists are urging local lawmakers to create the crosswalks through the use of petitions. Currently, one of the cities targeted is Chicago.

Washington, D.C., already installed temporary rainbow crosswalks honoring transgender persons earlier this year, and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed announced this week the city will make its rainbow crosswalks permanent following the circulation of a petition that amassed more than 22,000 signatures.

Philadelphia and San Francisco already have permanent rainbow crosswalks of their own, and petitions are now also circulating in and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Milwaukee and New York City to install similar crosswalks, all of which would presumably be paid for by taxpayers.

San Francisco ONLY. Leave the rest of us alone. Why should those vile people get to control so much? ESPECIALLY God’s rainbow.

Of course there will be a much bigger maintenance budget to keep the colorful stripes painted brightly.

We gave into { what seemed a harmless perversion At that time} 30 years ago and now we will pay for the endless perverted { anti God } rabbit hole pit. My personal feeling.

When I see a rainbow I think of the amazing world of quantum chromodynamics.

So now we’re supposed to paint our streets to honor bug chasing and gift giving. Sickening.

Genesis 9

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

It would likely be considered a hate crime if one were to burn some rubber on them.

Chicago? Chicago can’t afford to pay its employees much less repaint miles of crosswalks.

The UN wants to be cultural appropriation? Is this not the same thing? The rainbow is YHWH’s sign affirming his covenant with Noah. It belongs to the Jewish People and the state of Israel.
