Jacksonville's Acosta Bridge was allowed to shine bright for LGBTQ rights one day after officials rejected the display, saying it violated state regulations.
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority had planned to use rainbow lighting on the Acosta throughout the week in honor of Pride Month, which commemorates the struggle for gay rights. The state has allowed numerous celebratory lighting displays on the bridge to honor patriotic holidays, celebrate the Jacksonville Jaguars football team and raise disease awareness.“The bottom line is, lights will be back” on the Acosta, Fenske told the paper.
