Multiple Florida cities are now facing deadlines in the coming days after being ordered to paint over or remove so-called rainbow crosswalks, brightly colored street crossings meant to celebrate gay rights and LGBTQ pride.
This combination of photos shows a rainbow crosswalk that was removed overnight Thursday, outside of the Pulse nightclub, where 49 people were gunned down in June 2016, in Orlando, Fla. The lefthand image shows the crosswalk in 2017.
