cbear : Hey. Take that nail out until you show me it was there illegally? How do we know it was not pre-approved? How do we know it falls under the category? By the way. Why do you care?

MissAmericanPie : You a mixing up an organization with a flag. But I can see AI really tried helping your argument.
olemiss1968 : So can I paint crosses across those crosswalks??

MissAmericanPie : Sure. Get the permit like they did. Wouldn't bother me. My question for you is since this has been there since 2013, why are you now so passionate about removing it? I don't believe it is about any law or mandate by the federal or state government. You also realized that prior to 2013 there was no cross walk until a local pedestrian was struck and killed in a "hit and run". As a result, the community (which yes is very LGBTQ) raised the funds to create the cross walks. I guess I'm confused why some on here very upset that something that is 8 years old now needs to go. Take a ride in Montrose. Go to some of the bars and restaurants at time. You may have some change of heart. Personally I don't believe you have any thing against the community but it would be good for anyone against it to visit the area.
My gay coworkers and friends fit in w everyone and would never want to be singled out like this.
DRayGunn : Exactly. My gay friends don't want to be singled out, either.

olemiss1968 : I like Montrose! This isn't personal.They got the permit based on "artwork" that was approved. It shouldn't have been bc it clearly is political and controversial. It's opens the issue to everyone now being entitled to paint their symbols in the crosswalks.
It's clearly a case of getting special attention.
To be honest with you, the intersection is a distraction, especially for first timers traveling through there.
bigcity : What a bunch of ********. People are more likely to be aware and take notice of the crosswalk, not be distracted by it.
I'm not sure, but I bet someone complained about city government streets being used to display political views. If one group is allowed, aren't all of them going to be allowed?
MissAmericanPie : What's the political message a painted crosswalk sends?
like schools, we shouldn't display religious or political preferences, right?
MissAmericanPie : Yet Texas recently passed a law requiring just that.
I'm of the opinion that spending any public money on it is wrong, including to remove the rainbow.
buffaloglenn : The painting of the crosswalk was paid for with private funds
