Our little town of Freeport may have more than its share of unsophisticated folks who have never been out of the state of Maine, but it's certainly not short on political correctness. The Town Council recently voted to paint one of the downtown crosswalks in rainbow squares of color. That should certainly make it clear to gays, queers, lesbians and transgenders, and all those who are unsure of their sexuality, that they can feel welcome here, wouldn't you agree? I mean nothing says, "We love and respect you" more than paint on asphalt.

To that end, I look forward to the day when Giant Jewish stars decorate one of our local intersections, and I won't feel comfortable here until then. Ditto shamrocks for the Irish, and a giant BLACK LIVES MATTER somewhere. After all, fair is fair.
