Dear Editor:
RE: Rainbow criticism, June 9.
This letter expresses concern about rainbow colours everywhere, including the steps of the Wellington County Museum and Archives.
The writer asked the question “What do we tell our children?’ or how do we answer when a six year old asks, ‘Mom, why did they paint the steps in the colours of the rainbow?’”
Here’s my suggestion: “Those rainbow colours that you see everywhere in June represent love. The love that God had for his people after the flood and a sign that He would never again destroy the world. Those rainbow colours also represent the love that God’s people have for each other, in many different forms.”
And we can be reminded of that love when we see the colours painted everywhere. I’m in favour of that.
