gay pride month

Local religious leaders penned a letter to the Lafayette City Council asking for an official declaration of Pride Month in Lafayette. They vote this Tuesday.

The sign was painted over the weekend to celebrate Gay Pride Month and, by Monday, had been defaced.

The "Lafayette" sign at Parc Sans Souci was recently painted like a rainbow for Gay Pride Month. Police are searching for the man who defaced the sign.

The sign will remain painted with the Gay Pride colors until July when, typically, it is repainted with the red, white, and blue of Old Glory.
