Pride flag flying at Porirua war memorial attracts online vitriol
Moderators of the Tītahi Bay Returned Services Association’s (RSA) Facebook page have had to delete several unsavoury comments on a post showing a pride flag flying at a Porirua war memorial.
The flag was hoisted up the flag pole on the Tītahi Bay shoreline to show the local RSA’s support for the Wellington Pride Festival – which opened on Saturday, March 13 – and members of the LGBTIQA+ community who “have served, or continue to serve our great country”, the post read.
It was thought to be the first time a pride flag had flown at a war memorial in New Zealand.
