Duffy, now Secretary of Transportation, initiated a letter-writing campaign to all governors, advocating for the removal of rainbow crosswalks, labeling them as distractions. He claims they pose safety issues, yet there's no substantial evidence to support this assertion. This stance reveals a deeper agenda, suggesting he'll prioritize personal grievances and political posturing over actual infrastructure and safety needs. Duffy's actions stand in stark contrast to his predecessor, Pete Buttigieg, who focused on genuine transport issues and modernizing infrastructure. The push against rainbow crosswalks highlights a misuse of government authority for vindictive purposes rather than community safety.
Duffy sent a letter to all 50 governors urging them to remove rainbow crosswalks from public roads, framing it as a safety concern despite no evidence linking them to accidents.
He equated colorful expressions of LGBTQ+ pride with political messaging and suggested they are incompatible with road safety.
