It's an issue for the safety of his fragile worldview and values.
We should remove all safety and handicap ramps that lean to the left. For safety
America’s war on color continues.
Waiting for them to ban rainbows from kindergartens.
So there's this daycare down the street from me. It has had a rainbow colored access ramp for as long as I can remember.
It's now painted black.
It could be completely unrelated, but I highly doubt it.
Just like the famous Rolling Stones song. "I see a kindergarten access ramp and I want it painted black..."
If it had grip sand integrated into the paint it would make sense that it needed repainted, and getting one color of deck paint is cheaper, and black paint absorbs more sunlight so they need to salt less.
Still sucks, but it’s the same reason we can’t have cool cars anymore.
It did not have sand in the paint. It had the adhesive strips on top of the paint.
Well then fuck those fascists
You should complain.
Or at least, the non-bigoted daycare parents should. A huge part of this problem is caused by a relatively few assholes going full Karen about their own fucking hangups and making them everyone else's problem. The solution is that decent people need to get EVEN LOUDER AND MORE PISSED OFF than they are, so that decision makers understand whose opinion actually matters here.
I just had a very similar conversation last night with some family and friends. There was a time when I would ignore shitty people's opinions.... After all, neither of us will change each other's minds. However, that's exactly how we got here. Those seemingly fringe, hurtful opinions now decide things for everyone. I'm not quiet any more.
So which is it, a safety issue, or a "political ideology" issue?
And since when has a group of people existing been a "political ideology"?
The existence of anyone not straight, white, wealthy and christian has always been political in the USA
So far Austin has sworn to comply and SAN ANTONIO has refused! Cant believe we lost Austin first!!
Keep Austin Bland!
Good riddance, those rainbow crosswalks jumped me stole my wallet, and dressed me up as a woman 6 times last week.
Maybe you should have worn something less provocative. Rainbow crosswalks will be rainbow crosswalks, after all.
"Texans expect their taxpayer dollars to be used wisely," which apparently means removing already existing crosswalks and making new ones, for no other reason than the manbaby is afraid of rainbows.
dont forget about the state freezing over each year, people dying, and the govt not doing shit to negate this problem for next year.
If rainbow sidewalks were actually unsafe, the engineers would know it already (because that's their fucking job) and wouldn't need a goddamned politician to tell them.
That's 100% proof by itself (as if we needed any more) that Abbott is a bigot and a liar.
Whatever happened to that "libertarian" way of thinking? Used to be that they wouldn't listen to no goddamn politician now every one of those gadsden flag touting fucks are on their knees awaiting their favorite politician to tell them to say "ah".
Actual libertarians support people like Bernie Sanders. (Yeah, he's big on social programs, but he's also bigger on civil liberties than most Democrats, let alone Republicans.)
The main stream libertarian voice and narrative was stolen in 2010 and alas we never really got them back, even in the time of tyranny. No one in power wanted us on the sidelines talking about the importance of balancing liberty and security through policy. Certainly not fiscal discipline, or accountable government. I’m appalled by the people I meet who call them selves libertarian. Most of who are just conservatives that started smoking weed after seeing Joe Rogan do it.
Terrified of a rainbow.
I wish my town had a gay cross walk, so then there would be more gay people. Rainbows make people gay and gay people throw great parties and have nice communities. I need that shit in my town.
Be the gay you need. Once you get the gay it will spread and make more people get gay. Gay the fuck out of the place. Gay that mother fucking town up!
Damn right they're a safety issue.
I was crossing one the other week. Boom. Gay. Just like that. Had to get a divorce and everything.
Sorry for your loss. I become gay but my partner became trans, so it still worked out.
What's a real "safety issue" is this nazi fucking regime.
Also, unmarked crosswalks are perfectly safe because drivers know pretty much every intersection has an implied crosswalk whether marked or not. This comment has been brought to you by the letter S and viewers like you.
Lol I'm sure this is about safety and not a guy trying to feed a bunch of haters red meat so they don't look at the death rates in texas hospitals
