All are welcome
Dear Editor:
RE: Rainbow criticism, June 9.
I read Diane Breukelman’s letter and wanted to offer a reply.
If a six-year-old child asked me “why did they paint the steps (of the museum) in the colours of the rainbow,” I would say it’s because June is the time we celebrate how all of God’s children, regardless of colour, are welcome and included in everything we do.
If children learn at a young age that inclusion makes Canada special, then we can all live in harmony, free from fear, harassment, and persecution.
That’s what the rainbow means to me. I hope this is helpful.
