Garbage like this should have never been allowed in the first place. Glad Abbott is forcing it to be removed.

One more win for the bigots.

Texas is governed by anonymous Tik Tok accounts and Ron Desantis.

They are a needless safety hazard and a distraction to drivers. There are plenty of other places to make political statements. Abbott is right to put a stop to it.

I personally don't care about this issue, but calling people bigot because they don't want a road crossing painted in the LGBTQ flag colors seems a little over the top.

Statistics say otherwise. There have been zero reported crashes of any type at this intersection since the crosswalk was installed 8 years ago.

But we all know this isn't about safety and never was.

If Greg Abbot doesn't want to be called a bigot, he should stop being a bigot.

So removing this off crosswalks is bigoted?

Abbott is really good at copying DeSantis's HW. Colorful crosswalks have been around for over a decade in various spots in town. Houston drivers are just fine crashing into things on their own without it being the crosswalk's fault.

But forcing 10 commandments in classrooms is an acceptable political statement?

I do believe it could be a distraction, especially for people passing through that don't normally drive in that area, and it is completely unnecessary.

By your stance, I'm sure you wouldn't mind if there was a big red MAGA crosswalk across Montrose either.

Where are the crosswalks that celebrate straight people

When is Straight Pride Month?

It doesn't really work to say "we just want to be treated the same as everybody else and be given the same opportunities" while also taking every available chance to say "LOOK AT ME! NOTICE ME! I AM SPECIAL AND DIFFERENT!!!"

Based on the statistics, it would probably also result in a reduction in the number of crashes.

if you're distracted by crosswalk paint you shouldn't be driving

What if the O Henry candy bar heiress is walking along the sidewalk wearing a bra as a top? Can I be distracted by that?

When were people beaten or prevented from having a romantic partner publicly because they were straight?

But there are people on the political right and left who are gay. Having rainbow anything SHOULDN'T be seen as political.

And no one cared about this crosswalk for eight years until Libs of Tik Tok and Brian Harrison started complaining about it this week. Suddenly Greg Abbott thinks it's a ****ing safety emergency.

You can't be that naive. Of course it's political.
