Gayborhoods in Austin?

Why no real gayborhoods in Austin?

Proposed rainbow crosswalks would mark one center for the gay community.

By Michael Barnes - American-Statesman Staff


You might have heard that Austin could soon join San Francisco, Vancouver, British Columbia, and other cities with a set of rainbow crosswalks.
At first, some business owners in the Warehouse District frowned on the idea, put forth by Austin Pride, to paint the intersection of West Fourth and Colorado streets with a spectrum of colors associated with the gay community. Yet few opposed the idea after the Austin City Council took up the matter in September. Private dollars would pay to install and maintain the crosswalks.

Just wonder if residents can paint White Pride on cross walks or Gun Country

Cant treat abnormal people normally.
