Prince George, B.C.- City Hall was under  a rainbow today, as the  Prince George Pride Parade  got underway.

“Over 30 parade registrants this year,  that’s up 6 or seven from last year” says Val Crawford, P.G. Pride organizer.

The participation in the  Pride events this week was also up.  More than  500 , from  all over the province  attended a variety of events “Definitely a massive tournout this year.  We were sold out last night for the Drag Show, we’ve got people from Dawson Creek, Calgary,  from  all over the north.”

He says  the  level of participation makes him feel “proud”  and in the moments before the parade got underway he encouraged  all in attendance to celebrate their legacy “You can be  who you are, anywhere in the north.”

I don’t support the pride flag flying at city hall for the same reasons I wouldn’t support a nazi flag at city hall.

These same pride people argue up and down for separation of church and state, but then demand they get to have their religion of pride fly its flag in place of the city flag?

Government institutions are for all people and shouldn’t be on the side of any special interest group even if politicians feel it will buy them votes. A large segment of society does not agree with the pride agenda and shouldn’t have it stuffed in our face through our public institutions.

Keep the sexual propoganda in the bedroom or private gatherings please and out of public institutions.

You could have made your point without mentioning Nazis, but since you chose to, likening Pride participants to Nazis, for that is what you are doing when you compare the Pride flag to the Nazi flag, is absolutely disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

Eagleone, your comment indicates a mentally ill person. Please get some help. And 250news, I thought you didn’t allow comments like his /hers on this site. Shame to you all……and right on ammonia. PS, I’m heterosexual…. But Eagleone’s gay bashing needs to stop !!!!
