Learning from Histories of Queer Resistance - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly

In the middle of the night, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) painted over the Pride crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub memorial, where 49 people were killed in a mass shooting in 2016. In response, protesters used chalk to restore the memorial's rainbow colors-and then repainted it after rain washed the chalk away. FDOT quickly painted the crosswalk black again and posted signs reading "defacing roadway prohibited."
