DeSantis’ plot to do away with rainbow lights during Pride thwarted by gays armed with flashlights
the most petty way possible. As part of his “Freedom Summer” initiative, major Florida bridges would be lit in red, white and blue between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
This, of course, means no special lighting to mark events such as Pride Month or Juneteenth. Bridges such as the Sunshine Skyway over Tampa Bay and the Ringling Bridge in Sarasota, among others, usually have rainbow lights for a few days each Pride Month.Many LGBTQ+ people and allies in the state were unhappy about this.
Some decided to protest in the best way possible on Friday night. They walked onto the Acosta Bridge in Jacksonville with flashlights.
They then lit up the bridge for a short while with rainbow colors. Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!I love my city!
