They and all LGBTQ people in this country deserve a lot more than some paint. Paint it back by all means. But all this country seems to give minority groups besides oppression is paint, symbols, and some extra days for holiday sales.
Because Orange Ave, the street the crosswalk is parallel to, is a state road and falls under FLDOT, so the crosswalk is likely part of their jurisdiction rather than a city street, sadly.

People should paint it back
Those 49 people deserve to be remembered.

A bunch of people already went back and did it again with chalk, so I've heard.

Trump will make that a hate crime. Because he hated it.

That rainbow lasted twice as long as the civil war. We should build statues for the losing sidewalk.

paint's cheap.
presidents probably spend over 1,000 times a bucket of paint to rape children on a private island.

Why would state officials even be doing anything on city streets? Orlando should just treat it as vandalism and repaint it.

We can fight this asshole administration by joining up with our community defense coalitions and mutual aid chains.
