Portland’s First Pride Crosswalk | Portland Maine News

Portland’s West End just got a bold new pride crosswalk—right in front of the Ugly Duckling coffee shop on Danforth Street—making it the first of its kind in that neighborhood and one of the few in the whole city. More than just colorful stripes, it’s a powerful statement of inclusion, resilience, and belonging for the LGBTQ+ community. Local staff like Cyr Torrent see it as a defiant, uplifting symbol: a visual reminder that this community won’t be erased, and everyone deserves to feel seen and safe in their own city. It’s a small paint job with big meaning—a step toward a more welcoming, visible, and inclusive Portland. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
