DeSantis Orders Removal Of Gay Pride Crosswalks From Florida Streets

Let’s make one thing very clear from the start:  LGBT pride flags are political symbols for a political movement with an undeniable agenda.  They are not “art murals” or expressions of civil rights, they are information weapons designed to saturate the American environment with far-left propaganda. 

Woke activists have no right to paint their ideological symbols on taxpayer funded roadways.  No political group has that right.  The fact that progressives and Democrats were allowed to hijack US flagpoles and streets as their own personal indoctrination tools shows just how far America has fallen into the abyss in the past several years.  Luckily, the pendulum is swinging back to center.      

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been disinfecting his state and killing the woke mind virus ever since his victory against the attempted coup by Disney in 2023.  Leftists were dumb enough to believe that Florida needed Disney more than Disney needed Florida and the end result was predictable.

This blitz against progressive infiltration has extended to Florida roadways which Democrats have exploited with impunity, bombarding residents with gay pride flags to remind them who really controls their communities.  A number of citizens in Florida have been prosecuted for “defacing” these flags painted on crosswalks as if they are protected public property.  Some people have even been accused of “hate crimes”.

In other words, LGBT activist propaganda is allowed to be embedded into every facet of daily life as a method of “protest”, but if you protest this by burning a tire mark through one of those flags then you’re not an activist, you are a “fascist” that must be punished.  Thus, the woke movement made it impossible to counter-protest their takeover by making counter-protest an act of hate.    

DeSantis has ordered the immediate removal of all pride propaganda from public facilities and roads and state workers are already panting over the flags without oversight from city officials.  Local progressive politicians are, of course, having a meltdown, but there is no mercy in this dojo.

Activists have attempted to use chalk to recolor the crosswalks, apparently forgetting that it rains heavily and regularly in Florida.  

As for the Pulse Nightclub shooting, that was almost ten years ago, perpetrated by a Muslim who pledged allegiance to ISIS.  Today, leftists are aggressively seeking a political alliance with Muslim groups that promote the same Sharia law standards that inspired the nightclub attack.  They don’t actually care about the people who were killed, the event was simply a useful tragedy to use as a rationale for painting gay flags on roads. 

We will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes. https://t.co/AXY1qxsZNW

Multiple Florida cities are now facing deadlines in the coming days after being ordered to paint over rainbow crosswalks.  In letters from the state transportation department, communities have been told to remove them by early next month. 

“I am outraged by the State of Florida’s decision to forcefully remove Pride crosswalks — symbols of love, support, and unity in our communities,” Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Thursday.  “These vibrant installations are more than paint on pavement. They reflect the values we hold dear in Miami-Dade: respect, appreciation of fellow neighbors, and the fundamental right to live and love openly,” she said in a statement.

A statement from the Florida Department of Transportation said the agency has a duty “to ensure the safety and consistency of public roadways and transportation systems.”  “That means ensuring our roadways are not utilized for social, political, or ideological interests,” it said.

It’s not the job of city officials to commandeer public streets to project their personal values and politics.  Besides, the LGBT movement is not about “love”, it’s about control.  Controlling our words, thoughts and behaviors with fears of mob persecution and cancellation.  These are not good people with good intentions and their time is thankfully coming to an end.
