Houston’s Pride crosswalk comes under attack. Where’s Whitmire? | Editorial

The Houston Chronicle editorial board calls out Mayor Whitmire for his silence as Abbott and Trump work to remove the city's Pride rainbow crosswalk in Montrose. Here's a key quote:

Anyone hoping to see Mayor Whitmire stand up to Trump and Abbott’s bureaucratic game of smear the queer will be disappointed. Metro, whose board is largely controlled by the mayor, quickly acquiesced to Abbott’s demand and said they’ll remove the rainbow crosswalk. Now that’s wasteful government spending: Metro just replaced the crosswalk after completing road work.
