I reorganized this to put the articles on top and have it be an all-encompassing template for Gay rights vs solely SSM. Ardenn 20:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
On April 11, 2006, NTK replaced the Canadian flag in this template with a rainbow version of the Canadian flag.
I find that the rainbow clashes with the red in the rest of the template. If the rainbow flag is kept, I think the colour scheme of the template needs to change.
Secondly, I suspect some patriotic or anti-gay people might find the rainbow Canadian flag offensive. It is sort of subverting the national flag, suggesting a taking over of the country, more or less like a Christian cross onthe flag would, or US flag colours. I don't think any LGBT group in Canada uses the rainbow Canadian flag as a symbol, and I suspect that there is a reason.Wuzzy 03:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
I recall, but can't find, a controversy involving an activist who used the rainbow Canada flag. As I recall, the flag was criticised because it was unpatriotic and he ended up sort of apologizing. His credibility was damaged. Wuzzy 00:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I prefer the new flag, with the rainbow sides and red maple leaf in the centre. It fits better, and makes the page seem more relevent and on-topic (I guess what I'm trying to say is it really goes well with the subject). --Matt0401 19:04, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
