"We believe community initiatives should prioritize safety and fairness for everyone,"
"Removing or modifying the Pride crosswalks is not about erasing anyone's identity - it's about ensuring public projects are inclusive, safe, and consistent in how taxpayer resources are used. That means no special treatment for any group, including our own."
"They called Pride crosswalks 'politically divisive artwork' and said safety issues like 'lighting, standard markings, durable surfaces, and proper signage' should be 'prioritized.'"
"It is incredibly disappointing that the state and federal government are focused on painting over a crosswalk instead of deeply addressing real issues,"
The Log Cabin Republicans of Houston issued a statement supporting removal or modification of Pride crosswalks, framing the decision as prioritizing public safety, fairness, and consistent use of taxpayer resources. The group described the crosswalks as politically divisive artwork and emphasized safety features such as lighting, standard markings, durable surfaces, and proper signage. The removal followed a directive from the Texas governor to TxDOT to remove rainbow crosswalks statewide. LCR donated $500 toward a permanent memorial for Alex Hill. Local LGBTQ+ organizations and officials expressed heartbreak and frustration over the removal and state focus.
