Florida won't light bridges in rainbow colors for Pride Month this year
Florida Transportation Secretary James Perdue announced on social media that as part of the state’s “Freedom Summer,” all bridges will be lit in patriotic colors from May 27 to September 2, which means no rainbows for Pride.
Brought to you by the party of small government*
*Some restrictions apply
Also:
“Thanks to the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida continues to be the freest state in the nation.”
What in the actual fuck? How does banning things = freedom?
98No, no, you got it all wrong. It’s freedom for bigots to not have “the gay agenda” forcibly foisted upon them. Don’t you see how it could be offensive to and even discriminatory against christofascists to be reminded that non-straight people exist and are human beings too? Idk dude it sounds to me like you just hate small government conservative values ™️ and freedom.
(/s if it wasn’t obvious)
40Doublespeak.
20Wtf, do I have to spell it out? It’s just like how teachers can go to jail for mentioning their same-sex partner. If that doesn’t spell freedumb, I don’t know how else to explain it to you. And tracking pregnancies? How could you get any freer?!
10How does banning things = freedom?
That's the official Republican definition of freedom now.
Just like how "Patriots" = "Racist white Boomers".
Or how "First Amendment" = "Please let me say the n-word".
4They've mistakenly taken it to mean "freedom from" instead of "freedom to".
3To Ron, homosexuality is not freedom.

I no longer have the energy for additional sarcastic remarks regarding this vacuous tool's culture-war-pageantry.
42Me to every conservative family member I've kicked out of my life since 2019.
212015 was the start for me

Keeping up the ridicule of their bullshit is a Sisyphean effort.

Oh no, they're banning the visible spectrum! Certainly dark days ahead for Florida.
31No, they're just against segregation of the colours, you see.
It's replaced with harmonious all white light.

We can't light up a bridge, the political climate is just too rough.
25Republicans are NOT Snowflakes but I SWEAR TO JESUS H CHRIST IF I SEE A RAINBOW ON A BRIDGE I'M GOING TO SHOOT UP A SCHOOL WITH MY GOD GIVEN RIGHTS OF CHILD MURDER! PRO LIFE! PROTECT THE KIDS! MORE PRIESTS IN SCHOOLS!
18"Well boys, we did it. Homosexuality is no more."
- Florida Republicans, probably.
16God hates rainbows more than childhood leukemia

Well, let's light 'em bridges up in glorious RGB rainbows anyway, just under the pretense of "PC Gaming Month", concurrent with a Steam sale of coincidentally LGBT+ themed games🙃
...And thus a truly cosmic amount of salt shall be generated by both conservatives and g4m3r manchildren🤪
15Well duh- you can't have a return to the dark ages if you have electric lights, now can you?
14In fairness, no Florida elected official is proud of who, or more often what, they’re sexually attracted to.
13I'm waiting for desaturation glasses so these fucking whiners can't even see colors just in case they might line up in something close to ROYGBIV.
11Oh, don't worry. The conservatives still plan to decorate the bridges by hanging gay people from them.
A plague of conservatism cannot cure itself. The disease must be aggressively fought to be destroyed.
10Fuck em, let's do it anyway.
4Maybe they should do it just for the sake of not getting ran into by boats. Seems to be a lot of that going around this year...
1has it stopped being profitable already?
