JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies plan to walk the sidewalks of the Acosta Bridge on Saturday morning carrying Pride flags.
The protest was originally planned when the state opted to tell JTA it could no longer use a rainbow light display in celebration of Pride Month on the bridge. But after the state reversed its position and said the display could continue for the rest of the week, organizers said they thought it was important to still make sure their voices were heard on Saturday.
