Dear Editor,
City councillor Nathan Pachal proposes that a rainbow flag should fly all year-round over 91原创.
This is, in his words, 鈥榯o honour acceptance and inclusion, and to show that as a municipality we care for all our people.鈥�
The rainbow flag, in my opinion, does not honour inclusion, but gives a certain group, mainly the homosexual community, for which the rainbow flag is their pride flag, special status.
It doesn鈥檛 signify inclusion, but exclusion.
Why their flag, and not flags of other special interest groups?
In 91原创 we live under the flags of the city of 91原创, the province of British Columbia and the country of Canada.
How much more inclusive and caring can you get? That covers everyone, singles out no one and leaves no one out.
I hope that the city councillors indeed keep 91原创 as place that shows that we care for all our people. Rainbow flag? No thank you.
Ginny VanderHorst, 91原创 City
