It's not a straightwalk, it's a crosswalk.

here they were, being worried about Jewish space lasers, and the whole time it was crosswalks turn the frogs gay!

In my town, they said the rainbow colors are not the state description of crosswalks, might actually, effectively, erase the legal crosswalk, are confusing to drivers, and would increase pedestrian deaths. There's always some bullshit rationalization for being the worst possible person.

Marking the first time they probably have ever given a shit about a pedestrian death

i understand this crosswalk has meaning, but until it is unguarded, let all unguarded crosswalks be rainbows! : D
