Default Rainbow Bridge

I thought this was pretty cool. It's the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis lit up for the Pride weekend. Skip to 0:34 to see the lights turned on. From what I read, it was lit in rainbow colors just last night, but I think they should do it all weekend.

There is a picture of the bridge later at night when the colors were more vivid at the following site.

It reminds me of a walking bridge we have in Des Moines. It doesn't have anything to do with LGBT rights, but I think that would be a pretty easy step to take (and also it looks cool).
