Government spends tax dollars on painted rainbow crosswalks, and even NASA is getting in on the action

NASA's rendition of the Pride Month flag, as designed by government employees at taxpayer expense.

Across America, U.S. taxpayers are footing the bill for painted rainbows on streets, and rainbow adorned literature and social media posts about LBGTQIA+ awareness during June, which by President Joe Biden’s order, is Pride Month: It’s a time to celebrate and broadcast that you have sex with someone or something other than the opposite sex human.

In the news from around the nation this month are items about kids and adults being arrested for having left skid marks on the rainbow flag crosswalks that are found on streets from places like Key West, Fla. to Juneau, Alaska. Skid markers are considered vandals of the government’s art project.

Now NASA is getting in on the rainbow flag action. In a social media post, it designed a “Pride flag” with the various colors that are now used to represent sexual preferences that are all and anything but heterosexual.

For the colors of its art project, NASA picked hues it has in its library from satellite images around the world and space. NASA went the extra step of adjusting the settings on its X/Twitter post so that the public is prohibited from commenting back to the government about its art project, for which the public is paying.

The cost to the public of the NASA Pride Month flag is minuscule, considering the $22 billion budget NASA has, but symbolic of the thousands of ways government grows into whatever container it is allowed to fill, no matter how far off-mission it may be.
