When they say symbols matter, Delray Beach proves it. Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis and his FDOT buddies tried to erase rainbow crosswalks, calling them “unsafe.” But Vice Mayor Rob Long wasn’t having it. With a fiery speech, he convinced city commissioners to keep their Pride intersection, one honoring Pulse nightclub victims since 2021. And guess what? Studies show painted intersections actually make streets safer! So no, Secretary Sean Duffy, rainbow colors aren’t killing drivers. This fight isn’t about safety; it’s about erasure. So, Pride stays — right where it belongs.
