San Antonio committee approves making permanent rainbow crosswalk

On Wednesday afternoon, the Governance Committee unanimously passed a proposal to paint a permanent rainbow crosswalk on Main Avenue in recognition of San Antonio’s commitment to the “LGBT” community.

Installing politically motivated crosswalks isn’t what city governments are elected to do. We have potholes to be filled, infrastructure issues to be dealt with, and other issues, which properly reside in the purview of a municipality. Yet our officials seemed determined to neglect those things, which would serve the entire community in order to support a political agenda discriminating against the vast majority of the population of San Antonio.

The truth is most of the citizens of San Antonio don’t want tax dollars wasted on rainbow crosswalks. The vast majority wants safe streets, lower taxes, and a government, which promotes virtue and not vice. Sadly in 2017, those elected to lead San Antonio don’t represent the majority. Nor do they represent reality. Instead they are painting the city through their rainbow colored glasses and punishing those of us who oppose their agenda.

The crosswalk will cost a total of $68,000. $20,000 of that will come from the city’s general fund. This amount is equivalent to the cost of a traditional crosswalk with light reflective material. Officials said the remaining $48,000 will be raised by the District 1 community.

The crosswalk will be installed in either late November or early December.

San Antonio Family Association is mobilizing people to speak out against this. Sign up here to tell the San Antonio City Council that you are against the homosexual agenda they are promoting, and that you object this improper use of government funds!
