Well, it matches the new crosswalks on Westheimer in the Montrose area.

If Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo has anything to say about it, his officers will shine at the head of the city's Pride Parade.
The department's new "Pride Car" is ready to go. It's gassed up. Rainbow decals gleam from every side, saluting Houston's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
Acevedo plans to be front and center Saturday and he's strongly encouraged his top leadership to join him in the march.
"By actually participating ... we send a very powerful message that we're an inclusive department," he said, "where every segment of society is welcome, is respected, and will be protected by the Houston Police Department."
But not everyone is ready to join the parade. The prospect of marching in the free-spirited gay-rights celebration has some members of his leadership crying foul, and pictures of the festive cruiser sparked contentious debate on social media from nonplussed naysayers.
"Our duty is to protect and serve, not participate in an event that completely goes against our religious beliefs," said one commander, who asked not to be identified.
The behind-the-scenes brouhaha comes as Acevedo — who just celebrated six months as the city's top cop — continues his efforts to remake the department and bring it in line with his ethos for "relational policing."
He's made it clear he expects his command staff to maintain a visible presence at major community events.
When asked about the complaints Friday, Acevedo said he hadn't received any pushback from subordinates, only a call from the union asking if attendance was mandatory.
"If people are available, like any other community event, I expect them to be there," he said. "If they're not available, and they have a conflict, they just have to let me know."

Sheesh...
Dykes on Bikes are Entertaining.
Houston elected two gay mayors.
Acevedo left uber lib Austin to be chief in equally uber lib Houston.
How much did this cost the taxpayers? Do they also have a straight police car?
I won’t say what Mr. b said when I showed him this.
I live in a nearby Houston suburb and its raining cats and dogs here. I can only hope and pray these degenerates are getting soaked and they won’t have an audience to witness their depravity.
That is so sickening and insulting.
I would in turn, not watch anything they churn out and let them know why. Not only do they want to nauseate people when it comes to food, but they are actively trying to destroy all support for sports right now.
You are right. Murders continue to increase since he was made Police Chief.
In “The Alamo” (2004), Sam Houston called James Grant a, “Scottish catamite”...”one step down from associate pederast.”
Looks like The City of Houston has now taken up that role.
What would happen if they decorated police cars with crosses to celebrate Holy Week?
....and the sodomites chose the month of June, the traditional month for weddings. Also the rainbow, God’s symbol of mercy after the expression of His wrath. Their choosing the rainbow as their symbol is the way to give the middle finger to God. All of this makes me so very sad.
The cops have no business involving themselves in gay pride promotions. And they have no business promoting non-gay sex activities either.
Well, it is Houston. Houston’s sole purpose anymore seems to be the finger in the eye to the rest of Texas.
Homofascism on the march
Until 2003, Texas outlawed sodomy. And it wasn’t even Texans that changed the law....the Supremes did it for them. Amazing how fast this train is going.
Don’t Mess With Texas.

Lawrence vs. Texas actually happened in Houston.
4 sheriffs deputies burst into an apartment and found 2 men going at it.
Oh, that’s FAAAAABULOUS.
It is a sign of the times, Red, a sign of the times. And the worse is yet to come.
I wonder if those deputies are still on the force...now being coerced into driving around a rainbow billboard for a squad car.
