Some of the community and local council in Westminster want to ban the rainbow flag because they view it as visual clutter that discourages the local economy and offends visitors. I think the same could be said for a lot of places by a variety of people! Why this item, why now?
How do can we accept/adopt a universal standard of what is "right" when groups have different definitions of that work into their idea of "right"? A conundrum indeed.
Is it possible to find even the thinnest piece of commonality (humanity seems natural, but I think that it is too simple?) that we can agree on for symbols, tolerance, preservation of heritage or (sub) cultural pride?
Tough question... I'll have to ponder that for a while.
