(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."

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"
.

"Because homophobia is one of the greatest plagues in this world.
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.

Ya think they didn't like tall construction cranes?
I could imagine how gays hang out in Tehran. I can guarantee this "gay Imam" would find out how tall those construction cranes were.

Some people make derogatory comments against Muslims and gays, or sometimes comments are closed after a certain time.
Comments appear to be open at this moment.

The comments being continually deleted are hateful islamics threatening to kill the poor soul. I saw some of them before they were deleted. Some were quite imaginative .. He seems like an OK guy. I hope he doesn't add to the Scorecard

Oh, cc, you shouldn't have to lie. Even if you did see death threats, how could you possibly know they were from Islamics?
I've told you that you can't read minds.

watching progs who don't know (or more likely deliberately ignore) how islam operates and will employ any tactic to defend it is pure sleazy .... but is always great entertainment that never stops
You prolly think the Bombathon scorecard represents accumulated shots on goal and how many times players spit on camera
I hate the late night shows, so without your and EL's naïve comedy to watch, I'd have to go back to Looney Toon VCRs

At least I can be happy that you can't do a damn thing about it. You're a minority!
