Rainbow Crosswalk in Ontario Vandalized With Bible Verse

A rainbow crosswalk was recently installed in a crossing in Port Colborne in Ontario, Canada. However, less than a month after the rainbow crosswalk’s installation, right-wing fundamentalist Christians were quick to spread their unfounded hate for the LGBTQ+ community. “Genesis 9:13,” a verse from the Old Testament, was scrawled on part of the rainbow to vandalize the crosswalk. The verse Genesis 9:13 reads, “I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” The verse is famous to anti-LGBTQ Christians who claim that their god has “original” ownership of the rainbow, crying foul over the LGBTQ community’s use of it. Austin Gooder, a member of Niagara’s queer community, stated that the vandalism is dismissive of the queer community that has worked hard toward its own liberation and is still working hard to this day.
