Why is it important that ‘our’ gay flag flies on the Space Needle?
After the Space Needle made waves by flying a gay pride flag for the first time last year, it has announced the rainbow flag will not make a reappearance for this month’s gay-pride festivities.
“(We) are not flying the flag this year,” Space Needle spokeswoman Mary Bacarella said in a statement Friday.
“We don’t make a habit of flying flags on top of the Space Needle and we make an effort not to fly any flags on a recurring basis,” she said.
Bacarella said the Space Needle is giving the flag to the group, Seattle Out & Proud, which will be marching with it this year. via blog.seattlepi.com
