Ye scurvy dogs band together to foil the scallywag DeSantis and his plan to darken the rainbow bridge! Arrr!

Arr mateys, if Gov. Ron DeSantis had his say, Pride Month in Jacksonville would be as dull as a landlubber's haircut! Instead of rainbows on the Acosta Bridge, we'd be stuck with red, white, and blue for "Freedom Summer." Aye, a plot to spoil the fun indeed!
Arrr, me hearties! This year in Jacksonville, Governor Ron DeSantis tried to scuttle Pride Month celebrations by mandating that the Acosta Bridge be lit with the colors of the flag, not the jolly rainbows that usually be a-sailin' across the night sky. The Florida Department of Transportation be sayin' that all bridges in the state be a-flashing red, white, and blue for what they be callin' "Freedom Summer."Many a critic be a-sayin' that this here "Freedom Summer" be nothin' more than a ploy to keep the Pride colors from a-flyin', but we pirates be knowin' better! We be standin' tall and proud, showin' our true colors no matter what the governor be sayin'. Let them try to douse our rainbow spirit, but we be a-fightin' back with all the sass and swashbucklin' we can muster!
So hoist the colors high, me hearties, and let the world know that Pride be alive and well in Jacksonville, despite the governor's best efforts to keep us in the shadows. We be standin' strong, standin' proud, and standin' together as one fierce and fabulous crew!
