<\/a><\/p>\nA campaign is underway to save the Venice Pride rainbow lifeguard tower in California, which seems like a great idea.<\/p>\n
Writes Colin Campbell at Change.org, where you can sign a petition<\/a>:<\/p>\n Located at Brooks Ave. on Bill Rosendahl Memorial Beach in Venice, CA the Venice Pride Flag Lifeguard Tower has become\u00a0a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike. In\u00a0nine weeks thousands\u00a0have\u00a0flocked\u00a0to photograph the dramatic tower and broadcast its powerful message of equality and inclusion to\u00a0millions across the globe.<\/p>\n On\u00a0September 8th<\/strong>\u00a0the rainbow-colored tower is set to be erased\u2026\u00a0forever<\/em>. At a time when so much of what the LGBT community and its allies fought for is under attack, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors should\u00a0save the Venice Pride Flag Lifeguard Tower by designating it a permanent public art project.<\/p>\n Funded by Venice Pride, a local non-profit dedicated to saving LGBT lives, and Dunn-Edwards Paints, the tower\u00a0serves as an important visual reminder that\u00a0Los Angeles will always welcome people no matter whether they are gay<\/a>, straight, lesbian<\/a>, bi<\/a>, transgender, queer or questioning.<\/p>\n Watch the campaign video<\/a>:<\/p>\n
