(June 18, Aberdeen, Scotland) The Union Jack has been lowered from its mast at Aberdeen City Hall. In its place was raised the Rainbow flag.
It wasn't a takeover of city hall by gay radicals, the change had the approval of the city's Labour government,but, Tory members of council are crying foul.
The flag will fly over city hall throughout Pride celebrations in an agreement reached last year.
Conservative councillor John Porter said the flag will "alienate" the public and do more harm than good to the Gay Pride movement.
Fellow Tory councillor John Dempsey said: "I would rather a more deserving flag was up there."
This is Aberdeen's first GLBT Pride.
Over the weekend, bands and performance artists from across Scotland performed in a local park.

I wonder how the people of Aberdeen feel having a flag that represents "gay" sex flying over their city. Why celebrate homosexaulity? Why does this stupid notion exist? What is there to celebrate about homosexuality? (Certainly not the physical harm that it causes or the disease that it spreads.)

See the pretty Flag?
It represents the Fag!
You see it flying here,
to celebrate the queers!
Let them tell the children,?
that it's not so bad a thing!
They can have two daddies,
and a penile ring.
What do we have to fear?
just take it in the rear!

Rainbow Flag Replaces Union Jack
Now the words "not necessarily" should be appended to the phrase "There'll always be an England".

Big deal! All this means if that Gay-pacs poured lots of money in to Labor party coffers for certain "considerations", shall we say? I've yet to know I politican who wouldn't trim his wind to every sale.
