Simpson was flanked by dozens of like-minded people holding placards denouncing the rainbow flag and demanding only the Canadian flag be flown at the Surrey RCMP's headquarters on 57th Avenue. 'We're saying here, today, 'enough is enough.'' 'The rainbow flag is a political symbol,' said Culture Guard founder and protestor Kari Simpson. The flag, which has been a lightning rod for controversy among conservative and anti-gay organizations, has flown above police headquarters and RCMP detachments across the country for years, but protestors seized on the Surrey RCMP's symbolic gesture Monday morning. Dozens of opponents and supporters alike converged on the Surrey RCMP detachment as the force went ahead with its plan to raise the rainbow Pride flag in support of LGBTQ officers and members of the community.
