Residents of Barrhead, Alberta, are following the lead of their neighbours in nearby Westlock by launching a petition to eliminate rainbow crosswalks and Pride flags from municipal property.

The Barrhead citizens group wants local government to stay neutral and prohibit the flying of flags that do not relate to federal, provincial, or municipal governments.
