Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is defending rainbow crosswalks really making me a Rhino, a Marxist,
the fascist, the leftist? Or is it exposing who forgot
what liberty means? Welcome back to the hashtag go right
with Peter Boykin commentary. I'm Peter Boykin, founder of Gays
or Trump and now Gays for Liberty and a constitutionalist

(00:23):
for Liberty. Lately, I've been hit with every insult in
the book. I've been called a right wing fascist, a racist,
and a Nazi. And now because I have written article
after article defending rainbow crosswalk memorials, I'm being called a Rhino,
a Marxist, and even a leftist. Why because I dared

(00:46):
to defend liberty when my fellow conservative chose silence our hypocrisy.
What's ironic is that most of the hate and pushback
comes from the very group that I created. Grown since
twenty fifteen, the people within my own group have sadly
proven they do not understand the point. This is the

(01:10):
problem with a community that has taken so much hate
and craziness from the leftist gay community that they are
now essentially stockholmed into being afraid to stand up for
their own constitutional rights as gay citizens. In fact, too
many would rather run back into the closet and be
self hating. I didn't create these groups for that. Folks.

(01:33):
Members who feel this way don't have to leave, but
they must understand that my purpose from the beginning was
to prove that being gay or LGBTQ, whatever you want,
is not a political party, and that our constitutional rights
and individual liberties are not pawns of any political party.

(01:59):
The truth is, I didn't just write one article on
this issue. I wrote many, many in protest, and yes
I repeated myself, but every time I dug deeper, more
facts came out, and every time the story revealed itself
to be worse than what we were told. What began

(02:20):
as a uniform safety excuse was quickly exposed for what
it really was, a political crusade to erase rainbows and
the LGBTQ visibility they represent. And there's gonna be still
people in the comments that are saying, no, it wasn't,
No it wasn't. But here's the articles I wrote. As
the truth unfolding. You can go to go Writeews dot com,

(02:40):
gay Rightnews dot com, gaysfor Trump dot org, and now
Gaysfliberty dot org. But here's the titles of the articles.
Pride is about liberty, not in doctor nation, Why the
Rainbow still matters? Florida's crosswalks, crackdown, safety or erasing liberty,
erasing statues, erasing Rainbow's hypocrisy, and how we treat memorials,

(03:05):
crosswalk crack down or liberty erosion. DeSantis's new law sparks
eighty five thousand dollars bill for Orlando, Florida's war on
crosswalks exposes the hypocrisy behind Cracker Barrel's logo outrage, Erasing
the rainbow, the battle over pulse memory, and the politics

(03:25):
of our memories Florida and Florida Governor DeSantis erased a
rainbow memorial to forty nine murder victims and called it safety.
Are you okay with that? I know, folks, that's a
lot and you will probably get the point from those
article titles. Some call that obsession. I call it consistency

(03:47):
because while others are distracted by labels such as DEI
or woke, I refuse to let the government overreach go unchallenged.
Let me be clear. Let it be clear. Rainbow crosswalks
were not taxpayer boondoggles. They were community funded. They were

(04:11):
crosswalks in grassroots projects. They weren't illegal, they were approved.
And in the case of the Pulse memorial, and I
know it's a mad sureff my memorial and people go,
what Shodn't they have a better memorial. Well, they're working
on it. I know it's a long time, but they've
been working on it. They were in state installed to

(04:36):
honor the forty nine murdered Americans. I know it's not much,
but at least it was something. Now suddenly they are
erased and cities like Orlando are left with eighty five
thousand dollars bills they never asked for. That's not law
in order. That's government coheresion dressed up as traffic policy.

(04:58):
And here's the hypocrisy. Conservatives cheered when they forced Cracker
Barell to abandon its bland logo design. They called it
a victory for tradition and the people's voice. But when
the state of Florida does the same thing to rainbow crosswalks,
suddenly it's quote just the law blandless, you know, blandless.

(05:23):
It's tyranny when it comes from corporations, but somehow liberty
when it comes from the government. That's not principle, that's
partisan convenience. The saddest part is that most critics of
my work won't even read it. They don't read it.
They comment, they skim, they assume, they insult, they ignore

(05:44):
the facts. They don't see the studies proving colorful costwalks
save lives. They don't see the evidence showing that this
was always about targeting rainbows. And they don't see that
collateral damage, school murals, racing stripes, community art is being
erased as well, not just in Florida, all over the
United States. And they don't care. But I care because

(06:07):
liberty is not about choosing which communities get expression in
which don't. Liberty is not about erasing history to a
piece evangelisticals or to score anti WO points. Liberty is principal.
It applies to everyone, or it applies to no one.
This fight was never about safety. The studies proved painted

(06:29):
crosswalks reduced crashes by nearly fifty percent. It was never
about law. F DOT itself approved these projects years ago.
It was never about taxpayers communities paid for. This was
always about targeting rainbows, and the collateral damage was tolerated

(06:51):
because it didn't matter. To those in power. So yes,
I've been repetitive, and I'm hoping this could be the
last chapter, but it probably won't be. And yes, I've
written about it over and over, but only because the
truth kept revealing itself and no one else wanted to

(07:13):
say it. So if standing up for liberty consistency makes
me a Rhino or a Marxist or in someone you know, whatever,
they want to call me in people's eyes, so be it.
I'd rather wear every insult than thrown at me because
I've been doing it for years. Then stay silent while

(07:34):
liberty gets painted over in great because liberty isn't blank,
it's colorful, it's diverse, and it belongs to we, to people.
