Residents of Barrhead, Alta., have voted in favour of a neutrality bylaw for municipal crosswalks and flags, which would ban Pride flags and rainbow crosswalks on town property.
A plebiscite was held on Dec. 2, after a community group organized a petition to address the neutrality of flagpoles and crosswalks. Barrhead council gave the bylaw’s first reading on Sept. 30. Council opted to hold a plebiscite on the issue, rather than move to second and third readings.
