Letter: Waving the flag

To the editor:

Now that the Confederate flag is coming down or being banned all over the country because a segment of the population considers it offensive, does that mean that the Gay Pride flag should come down because there are people who find that flag offensive?

It’s a shame that the people in power didn’t take a page from Nelson Mandela’s play book regarding the Springbok rugby team. If you don’t know what I mean, rent the film “Invictus” or read the book “Playing the Enemy” by John Carlin.
