I thought it was funny that this guy went out of his way to say that the rainbows represent gender/disability/race identities, but didn't mention sexual orientation. Seems the rainbow isn't for us anymore.

Talking of disabilities, has this CEO wondered how this kind of crossing might impact on people with visual impairments?

He actually admits in the article that it could harm people with impaired vision:

"The problem is not necessarily people who are blind but people with low vision, perhaps elderly people who might be confused by it because it’s not what they expect"

    Why are we putting our symbol on the ground for people to step on?

    Yeah I don't understand why (some) people think that's empowering.
