"It's important because silence is not neutral - silence in the face of harm always sides with the oppressor,"
"Painting our steps in the colors of the rainbow is a visible witness to the gospel we preach: that every person is created in the image of God and worthy of safety, dignity, and belonging."
"The rainbow is a reminder that God keeps showing up - especially for those the world tries to silence."
"Today, I directed the Texas Department of Transportation to ensure Texas counties and cities remove any and all political ideologies from our streets."
Oak Lawn United Methodist Church is painting its broad front steps in rainbow colors as a visible witness of faith and solidarity with LGBTQ+ people and allies. The rainbow steps are intended to serve as both a public statement of belonging and a sanctuary of hope for those facing marginalization. The action follows a statewide directive to remove rainbow crosswalks, with the Texas Department of Transportation ordered to eliminate political ideologies from roadways. Removal crews have begun work, and protests at other crosswalks have led to arrests during attempts to block roadways in Houston's Montrose neighborhood.
