In a public information package, the town stated that it received a petition on July 26 that called for crosswalks to only be painted in the standard white striped pattern between two parallel lines; that there should be no decorations on municipal crosswalks or displaying of flags supporting political, social, or religious movements or commercial entities; only national, provincial, and municipal flags should be flown at municipal facilities or flagpoles; and that there would be no grandfathering of existing crosswalks or flags that contravene the bylaw.

You could almost make this an argument that homes and businesses would not be able to have flags because they go above the side walk. Or have sale signs in front of coffee shops because it's a "decoration". Seems a little too vague. Also a pride flag isn't political, social, religious, or commercial. It's like having brown hair. Homosexuality is natural and observed in over 5000 species.

The part I would agree with is the crosswalk part, purely from a safety perspective.

Pride flags are absolutely political in today's landscape.
