Rebecka and I met almost 2 years ago through friends, and one of our first dates was watching the Pride parade in Midtown Atlanta that year. As midtowners, we are so excited to see that the proposed rainbow crosswalks at the 10th and Piedmont intersection have been approved!

That intersection is well-known for being at the center of the LGBT community around here, so it totally makes sense. Following in the footsteps of Seattle, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Key West, and Vancouver, it will be a symbol to show that everyone is accepted here. The project is being funded privately (go here to donate), but it is planned to be completed before this year’s Pride parade in October.

Rebecka created the rendering above to show us what the final product should look like. Hope you enjoy.

***Update: The crosswalks are finished, just in time for Pride! Check out a pic posted by Georgia Voice on Facebook. Post your photos with the hashtag #atlrc, and we look forward to seeing everyone out at Pride this weekend!***
