Plans for a gaudy rainbow mural in the Marsha P Johnson state park in New York have been scrapped, after complaints from the trans hero’s family.
In August, 2020, New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced that Brooklyn’s East River State Park was being renamed Marsha P Johnson State Park, making it “the first state park to honour an LGBT+ person”.
But since then, plans have been made for the design of the park, with little input from the LGBT+ community or Johnson’s own family.
At a community meeting last week, Black trans activists raised concerns about the “harsh thermoplastic colours and extended cement slabs”, while Johnson’s family accused the city of using her name for publicity.

A gay couple on Staten Island say they are frustrated with the lackadaisical response to a complaint they filed with police after a man banged on their door, yelled anti-gay slurs, and threatened retaliation against them after they asked neighbors to keep their noise down.
Joe Canale, a principal at the College of Staten Island High School for International Studies, and his partner Raymond Gamarra say the incident occurred after they complained to their neighbors about loud noises coming from a party they were hosting on the evening of Jan. 23. They asked the neighbors to keep down the volume, but one partygoer took offense.
