(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.

Isn’t that taking the ‘city of brotherly love’ a little far?

Why such joy in self-segregation when I thought the goal was integration?

I side with them on that issue. Liberal breeders with rugrats should be BANNED from any urban area! Please stay in the sticks! Eurob-tches seem to be behind this trend.

I have often said that the Klan should adopt the rainbow as its ‘Offical Symbol’.
Now that would change EVERYTHING.
