Key takeaway His arrest was related to a protest against the state's crackdown on rainbow crosswalks.
A 29-year-old man was recently arrested and has since been released from jail. His arrest was related to a protest against the state's crackdown on rainbow crosswalks. The protest was sparked by the painting over of a memorial crosswalk in Orlando that honored the victims of the Pulse nightclub tragedy.
The crosswalk had been a point of contention due to new anti-street art rules. Protesters have been using chalk to restore the rainbow colors, despite the presence of signs prohibiting defacing the roadway and impeding traffic. The area is being monitored by the Florida Highway Patrol.
Further details about the arrest and the ongoing situation are available through LGBTQ Nation.
