(CBC)  A bid to colour Vancouver's Burrard Bridge into the biggest pride rainbow in the world has gathered hundreds of supporters.



"This needs to happen," wrote Suzanne Lindsay of Vancouver, in support of a huge rainbow installation on one of the city's oldest' landmarks.



A petition started by "Rainbow Warrior" on Change.org already has more than 800 people signed up to urge the City of Vancouver to "show your love and support for your city, and the LGBTQ community" in a colourful way.



"We're going to build the biggest pride rainbow ever," claims the website.



The goal is 1,000 signatures. Those who signed the petition say the change would signal how the world sees Vancouver.



"Because homophobia is one of the greatest plagues in this world. Showing acceptance and embracing differences is a step forward in our society," Israel Delage wrote.



The hope is to unveil the rainbow July 30th in the middle of Pride Week, officially making Vancouver "somewhere over the rainbow."

Stupid, garish  and selfish ideas like that are not a way to win hearts and minds.



What most people actually see from that and all of the  every day now "in your face overkill"

Apologies to good folk here. This is crude and crass (and not my usual style)



But



It exactly exemplifies the human  intelligence-insulting  and self-defeating crudeness and crassness of  the  everyday "in your face overkill"





I know, I know, the message will not register, sigh

...the question for many is...."Why?"

What is it about the Burrard Street bridge that makes everyone want I fuck with it?

...the question for many is...."Why?"

Joe - to quote Robert F. Kennedy: "There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?"

[Romero]

Everywhere I go these days there are all these World Cup posters, banners, soccer fans...



Why do they have to shove this stuff in my face and why is nobody else complaining about it?

[@realAzhyaAryola]

Because they are not enlightened. They have not discovered that the best sport ever is ice hockey. ac_drinks

Even more critical than nuclear weapon proliferation, ISIS, ebola, radical islam, global economic collapse, racism, sexism, global warming, corrupt politics, food shortages in third world countries, FIFA's scandal and the demise of local manufacturing???



See, its comments like this that actually make the gay sector look utterly stupid, and rather self centred.



Bobby, I'm with you on gay rights. If you want to get married, I'm all for it. Why should heteros be the only one's to suffer nagging spouses and messy divorces? I abhor any discrimination you experience, and would stand by you in eliminating that discrimination. In fact, only recently, a very close friend expressed rather irrational and forceful anti-gay sentiments, and I admonished him for it. I went so far as to say "that is not the friend I know talking".



Everyone shall be treated equally, until they come up with this constant barrage of utterly silly gestures, and shrill proclamations about how the injustice they suffer is a global threat to humanity.



Then, I roll my eyes back and wonder WTF you folks are trying to do. Engage in dialogue, not confrontation and silly claims.

Then he must agree that Islam is the greatest plague in the world.

I don't know what you're saying Joe and I don't know why you're saying it in such a silly accent. However, if you are saying that this all a bit much and guys like Bob need to get a life and stop being such drama queens, then I would agree with you.
