Why does the author find it necessary to mock "scientific accuracy at Gay Pride parades"? Especially when the point of the article is that 7 is no more "scientifically accurate" than the gay 6?

I think it's in very poor taste to suggest that to be gay is to be scientifically inaccurate.

Yeah, I shouldn't've linked to the National Post, someone forgot to check a history textbook before publishing that article, which isn't exactly a shocker.

The original rainbow flag from Gilbert Baker had 8 symbolic colors.
