Misspellings. Grammatical errors. The term “transgendered.” Usually, you’d expect to find these errors on the less thoughtful side of Internet debate. But, they have been ensconced in the Rainbow Honor Walk in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood. The plaques were meant to commemorate deceased LGBT icons. And it was a great idea. However, it desperately needed a copywriter. Not long after the plaques had been placed, numerous people commented on spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, and insensitive language.
The plaques are currently in the process of being replaced with corrected ones, though that is expected to take until at least October.
