Sincere props to ScotRail for 1) the train itself, and 2) having someone like Ste on staff.

Straight pride flag is a beauty.

Then there's this black and white beauty, too

The heteros have faced discrimination over the flag too. But remember, not all discrimination is necessarily bad. We all discriminate on a daily basis, so whether this particular discrimination is justified or not is in the eye of the beholder.

CHIPMAN, N.B. -- The man behind a New Brunswick village's straight-pride flag says he and his supporters are considering legal action or a political challenge of the municipal officials who took it down.
"There's a lot of people angry over the flag being taken down. The same as if the gay pride people would be angry if their flag was taken down," Glenn Bishop said in an interview Tuesday
Chipman had flown the rainbow LGBT flag this summer, and Bishop said he had no objections to it.
But he wanted to show his own straight pride -- he conceived the flag and it was made by a friend, and they went through "the proper procedures" to get it raised by the village.
Kennedy said the council's decision to raise the flag was "unfortunate and unnecessary," and said it likely stems from a lack of understanding of the real symbolism of the pride flag, as well as a lack of understanding about the hardships faced by Canada's LGBTQ community.
