The LGBTQ community is reeling after an art deco Pride crosswalk was uprooted by order of Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis from the streets of Miami Beach.
A number of drag queens assembled to watch work crews dismantle the rainbow crosswalk on Sunday morning and told WPLG-TV they were shocked and heartbroken.
"Our pride is getting erased just like that," said CC Glitzer, a drag queen. "It's very painful."
"This represents blood, sweat, and tears. It tears my heart to see it go," said TP Lourdes, another drag queen. "They might take this away, but they didn't take the love and memories we've built here."
