Story summary
- The American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit claiming Key West’s fines against a lesbian couple’s rainbow fence amount to political censorship of LGBTQ expression.
- The city issued the fines after a neighbor’s complaint and denied the couple’s December permit request in February, despite other homes with non-code colors not being enforced.
- ACLU attorneys argue the selective enforcement mirrors the recent removal of state-mandated rainbow crosswalks.
