Florida officials painted over the Pulse Nightclub rainbow crosswalk honouring the 49 victims of the 2016 mass shooting. Critics called it a “cruel political act,” while FDOT cited safety policy. Survivors and LGBTQ+ leaders vowed to preserve the memorial.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said the repainting of the crosswalk near the site of the Pulse mass shooting was done "without any supporting safety data or discussion."
