By vanrozenheim

(Canada) - A Truro woman is so incensed by her mayor’s stand on homosexuality that she has organized a rally in Truro today in support of gay pride. "I don’t like to see anyone so marginalized and discriminated against," Sharon Farrell said in an interview Sunday night about her rally in Victoria Park. "It’s solidarity with the gay community. To let our mayor know that not all of Truro agrees with his decision." Last week, Truro town council voted 6-1 not to fly the gay rights rainbow flag to honour the community’s inaugural gay pride celebration.
