A Maryland mayor’s decision to eliminate the city’s only rainbow crosswalks has become the latest flash point in a nationwide campaign to strip LGBTQ+ symbols from public spaces.
The Salisbury crosswalks, installed in 2018 and repainted each year by volunteers, were removed on November 11 after Salisbury Mayor Randy Taylor ordered crews to mill away the paint at dawn, The Washington Post reports. Taylor, who narrowly won office in 2023, said the city must ensure “neutrality” on government property.

Of course they're outraged. Are they capable of being anything but?

Taylor, who narrowly won office in 2023, said the city must ensure “neutrality” on government property. That may sound like a good policy to a reasonable person, but if you are mayor of a lunatic Left town, silence is violence, Randy!

Remind them that the “B” in LGBTQ affirms there are only two genders.

Can’t help but wonder that if the name of Jesus were posted all over the city what the reaction would be.

EXCELLENT DECISION.
STOP 🛑🛑🛑 Publicly Promoting SATAN'S LIES from Sodom and Gomorrah
The Wicked Godless Reprobates want everyone else to join their open-air rebellion against Almighty God.
WE WILL NOT COMPLY - They are on their own if they want to make a mockery of God in the streets - pretty stupid - they want Doom Town? They should WAKE UP to the REALITY of ETERNITY [LGBTQ+ visibility - crosswalk] WE WILL NOT SUBMIT TO THEIR SODOM AND GOMORRAH AGENDA
They desire Hell and the Lake of Fire 🔥🔥🔥?
It's THEIR choice - we will NOT join them
At The Great White Throne Judgment, Unbelievers are Rejected. They did not choose to be written into His, The Lamb's, Book of Life.

All “protected” groups need a perpetual grievance.
It’s their leverage for getting their way.
That and accusing those they see as opposing them of being bigots, racists and the phobe du jour.
I’m old enough to remember when they were saying “we just want to be left alone to live our lives”.......I knew then what was coming then and here we are.

Gay. Democrat. Gay Democrat alleging that painting over a crosswalk is "bigoted."
Painting a multicolored crosswalk to advance gay politics 'colored' by Democrat politics is also bigoted. It just depends on who's perspective one holds.

Apparently outraged is the only thing they know how to be.

98.6$ of Americans want a natural crosswalk. If the rainbow is painted onto the natural crosswalk they want, then who is the bigot?
Why are those who remove what is not natural labeled a bigot?

The warning was fired by Secretary Duffy.

“The problem with giving people special rights is when they are treated normally they think they're being discriminated against.

Something tells me that most of Maryland is actually conservative, except for that cancerous mass around D.C.
