LGBTQ+ Florida state paints over memorial crossing
The Guardian
|August 23, 2025
A rainbow zebra crossing designed to honour victims of a mass shooting at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando was painted over by the Florida state government on Wednesday night.

The abrupt erasure of the memorial crossing, which honoured the 49 people killed at the Pulse nightclub in 2016, was described as a "scandalous act of betrayal" by one state senator.
Numerous anti-LGBTQ+ laws and measures have been passed in Florida in recent years by the Republican governor, Ron DeSantis.

Stage review Magnificent and original take on Ibsen classic
The writer-director Simon Stone is known for his rock'n'roll takes on the classics. This is a characteristically high-octane version of Ibsen's play: loud, modern and led by screen stars Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln. Yet his script, again created in the rehearsal process, retains all of Ibsen's layers and adds some of its own in the updating.
