People should paint it back

Those 49 people deserve to be remembered.

A bunch of people already went back and did it again with chalk, so I've heard.

Trump will make that a hate crime. Because he hated it.

They and all LGBTQ people in this country deserve a lot more than some paint. Paint it back by all means. But all this country seems to give minority groups besides oppression is paint, symbols, and some extra days for holiday sales.
