Loathsomeness in Longueuil
The following image of an offensive note targeting someone who flew the rainbow flag on their home is making the rounds on French-speaking Facebook and Twitter in Quebec (it was apparently affixed to the balcony of an apartment in Longueuil, a populous suburb on the south shore that's a short subway ride from downtown Montreal): Warning, this is some hateful shit.
For the non-French language literate, the English translation of the note is as follows:
"Warning"
"For your well being, please take down the homosexual flag ! [sic] immediately, as soon as you receive this letter. We absolutely do not want anyone of your sort in our neighbourhood. Take it down, shut your mouth, and we will spare you. And you will be able to pursue your abominable lifestyle unharmed.
"Keep it up and you will suffer the consequences of your act."
If you live in Longueuil or know someone who does, think about flying the rainbow flag to show your support and denounce this hateful act of intimidation.
