On Monday, the six-month anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre, the city of Orlando kicks off an initiative designed to make lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people safer.
The Orlando Police Department will issue a new rainbow decal in the shape of a badge for offices, stores and organizations that want to participate.
"This location is a SAFE PLACE for victims of anti-LGBTQ crimes and harassment to call 911 and wait for police to arrive," it says.
On Monday, the six-month anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre, the city of Orlando kicks off an initiative designed to make lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people safer.

"This location is a SAFE PLACE for victims of anti-LGBTQ crimes and harassment to call 911 and wait for police to arrive," it says.
The program is patterned after one created by the Seattle Police Department last year. The Orlando decal is nearly identical to Seattle's and the goal is similar: to provide temporary sanctuary for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people who feel threatened or have been the victims of crimes.
They can go inside and know it's a safe place from which to call 911 or that someone there will place the call on their behalf.

There is no such place.
Like a gay bar at midnight...
ROTFL! I sure hope America never has to fight another world war. There are no “safe places” on the battlefield for the snowflakes.
When did we care if fags are armed? They dont care about us on the right anyway.
One of the safest places for all including LGQ is next to a shoulder holster carrying a Glock simi 9mm chambered. This would have saved so many lived in Orlando. Does anyone disagree with that?
There are no safe places for straight people. There are no safe places for Trump voters. That’s discrimination. Or we aren’t wimpy little whinnies.
Let’s have a ‘safe for polar bears’ and ‘safe for blacks’ and ‘safe for Asians’ and ‘safe for Jews’ and ‘safe for Latins’ stickers, too!
Or the shopkeepers could just put an American flag decal in their window.
So, I assume the decal will replace all of those signs that say “ If you’re lbgt you can’t use our phone to call the police.”
One more reason for me to stay out of Orlando.
They’re acting like a ‘GAY’ nightclub was a hostile place for ‘gays,’ where they could not find help.
Cause that worked so well when that MUSLIM TERRORIST attacked that GAY NIGHTCLUB.
I never knew before now, that an IQ below zero was possible.
Now it’s easier to find them. Does anyone have a gun?
Without having a gun is about 10 minutes to late.
ah geez ...... Orlando has flipped completely Democrat from 20 years ago.
ISIS declared war on all of us in the United States. Plus, are there any armed guards, otherwise, that is a big bullseye for a genuine terrorist.
