Les in Chorlton is once again sugesting that peopple should use rainbow colours as face-paint.
Being the obviously sensible person thatr he is he must be aware that rainbow colours have been adopted by the "gay" or homosexual community as their "colours".
To use rainbow face-paints in this way would cause offence to either the homosexual or to the heterosexual population.
It may, shortly, be an offence to discriminate, but that doues not mean that public display is acceptable!
