🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ First introduced in 2017, Atlanta’s Rainbow Crosswalks have become a cherished city landmark, symbolizing love, acceptance, and LGBTQ+ inclusion. As the City of Atlanta refreshes these crosswalks, Mayor Andre Dickens is proud to update this beloved symbol with new colors. The new design incorporates black and brown stripes to honor communities of color, along with the colors of the trans flag, reaffirming Atlanta’s commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. All over the world, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people face discrimination and violence. But everyone should be free to be themselves, no matter who they are and who they love. This is why the Netherlands is committed to decriminalising sexual orientation and gender identity, fighting discrimination and violence and promoting social acceptance around the world. 🇳🇱🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ #LGBTI #Equalrights #LGBTIcommunity #humanrights #loveislove #equality #StandUp4HumanRights #diversityisbeautiful #equalrightsforall #diversity #fromthehaguewithlove
