(CBS) PHILADELPHIA The city of Philadelphia is planning to unveil three dozen street signs marking the ‘Gayborhood’ Wednesday.
The 36 signs adorned with the internationally recognized symbol of a rainbow, also known as the ‘Freedom Flag,’ will be placed from Chestnut to Pine Streets between 11th and Broad Streets.
During a brief ceremony at 13th and Locust Streets, the Philadelphia Gay Men’s chorus is expected to sing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” as confetti canons cap off the celebration.
Philadelphia will join four other cities, San Francisco, Chicago, Montreal and Toronto, who have dedicated permanent installations designating gay-friendly neighborhoods.

Don’t know. However, this makes it easier to find out what parts of those cities to avoid like the plague.

In San Francisco the gays are up in arms, the gentry is moving into the Castro with their rugrats and the gay community is none to happy (tolerance and all you know).

Will there also be areas posted as ‘Whiteytown’, ‘Brothahood’, or just plain ‘Normality’?

“also known as the ‘Freedom Flag,’”
Doesn’t the good ol stars and stripes version fit that role already?
