Bundick says the rainbow is what the area’s all about.

“It’s the most recognizable way that people can identify and say, ‘This is a safe community. This is an accepting community,'” he said.

The Austin City Council gave the project initial approval. Now the details are getting worked out with the city’s Art Commission. Funding for the project will come partially from city money for public artwork. The Austin PRIDE Foundation is also donating money.

When they do this, explain to the children that the rainbow represents the story of Noah and God’s rainbow was a message that the flood was over and everyone is safe now.

No question. And I’m looking forward to their misery when it hits.

The city motto, "Keepin' Austin Weird" and more disgusting.

Haven't they ever heard of Portland, or is that they have and are in competition with them? Austin, doing it's part to personify the "steers and Queers" in Texas.

Still don’t know what’s gay about liking Broadway tunes.

The South Pacific tune “There is nothing like a dame!” comes to mind. Probably not a faggie favorite.

A doctor once told me that the University of Texas at Austin had the highest number of STDs around.

Rainbow does not say “safe” it says “keep your children away”
