Fantastic news. I'm glad the old-school mentality is slowly dying out and being replaced by a more tolerant and less abusive mentality.

I always thought the rainbow flag was supposed to stand for inclusion and tolerance of all lifestyles? But according to the title of this thread it is a gay flag now?

Perhaps it's an ingenious paraphrase of the old Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."

Disgusting and inappropriate that the Commanding Officer of the RCMP in Alberta should use her "office" in the manner in which she did in this case. It is not the role of our Federal Police Force to champion the cause of any special interest group. The Canadian Flag is the only flag that should be run up that pole.

I don't think the RCMP championing equality is disgusting or inappropriate.
