These are just some of the messages being left on "The Doors of Love" — a nearly 200-foot art installation made of doors donated by the Rebuilding Center.
It was constructed by Pride Northwest and Portland Bureau of Transportation and can be found at Waterfront Park at Southwest Naito Parkway and Pine Street.

On Monday afternoon it will be moved to City Hall in Portland.
"The Pride Northwest family has been moved and honored by the support we have received, both before and since the events of last weekend," said Debra Porta of Pride Northwest. "The intent of Doors of Love is to invite our community to express their Pride, in whatever way they wish, using this platform."
Said Transportation Director Leah Treat, "Doors of Love and Better Naito illustrate once again that streets are for people. This installation is a heartwarming example of how Portland’s streets help us connect and celebrate our communities."
