✍️ Florida's Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, has ordered the removal of over 400 pieces of street art, including rainbow crosswalks and LGBTQ+ pride decorations, citing safety concerns and a desire to keep transportation facilities free of political ideologies.
👉 Over 400 pieces of street art, including rainbow crosswalks and LGBTQ+ pride decorations, have been ordered to be removed by the Florida Department of Transportation. 👉 The removals have targeted cities and schools across Florida, including Orlando, Tampa, and Key West. 👉 Municipalities, schools, and LGBTQ+ advocates have pledged to fight the directive, with some cities vowing to defy the state and retain their pride street art. 👉 DeSantis has cited safety concerns as the reason for the removals, but critics argue that the governor is using this as a pretext to target the LGBTQ+ community.
