so everyone walking on rainbow stairs is disrespecting LGBT?

these stairs were painted in those colors long before lgbt flag became a thing. Also, they were not painted in lgbt flag colors. Also, different flags demand different levels of care, and a state flag is much higher on the totem pole compared to a movement flag or a group flag. Stepping on national flag or coat of arms is willful disrespect and disregard. Colors of national flag are more special than rainbow.

i’d answer this question again for you: rainbow lgbt flag is not a flag of a nation nor is it a recognized state flag, so walking on it is not disrespectful. There is definitely no law about disrespect of state symbols that applies to lgbt flag or rainbow (but you know what it does apply to? National Flag!) But also the stairs were NEVER painted as that flag, colors were assorted, in various order, there were more colors than usual 6 colors of a rainbow lgbt flag. There were also inspirational book quotes (not about lgbt in any way).
