These crosswalks were painted specifically in honor of the Pulse massacre where 50 LGBT+ people were murdered in 2016. 25 were injured or killed in a shooting in a Colorado Springs gay bar in 2022.

The shooting has been happening for years already.

    The Pulse shooter wasn’t a Christian, so that’s not really a good reason to start tearing down and burning churches.

    Which, I can’t believe I need to say this, is bad. I grew up in a small community that embraced Christian homophobic and transphobic abuse as a virtue, I think Christianity on the whole is more negative than positive, and I still wouldn’t destroy a random church because it’s a church. That is fash shit. You don’t target random places of worship because that’s the religion of your enemy. What is this shit.

    I apologize, I'm with you on do not attack random churches and should have called that out myself in my first post and can see how what I said could be interpreted as supporting it.

    I was trying to point out that LGBTQ+ people are already under physical threat and have been and the first person's point about waiting until they are getting shot to take further action was passed already. I think the real physical threat is not understood by many. I do not think the action should be burning down random churches.
