Kelowna's mayor is marshall of the Pride Parade, and the city has its first rainbow crosswalk – but not everyone is so accepting.

Within moments of the rainbow crosswalk being announced and shared on social media, those who disagree with the sidewalk and/or the LGTBQ lifestyle were quick to share their disgust.

Some found the brightly painted crosswalk offensive. Some said it was “pushing the gay agenda down their throats,” while others commented it was a waste of taxpayer money.

The Okanagan Pride Society says the reaction was not unexpected.
