I honestly remember CP being a lot more progressive on issues pertaining to the LGBT community, like two years ago.
This thread and the Sochi thread from the FOI forum almost seem like a step back in time for this board.
Kind of odd.

I think you are confusing the issue of progressive thinking on CP with whether or not it is appropriate for the City of Calgary itself to make social statements using the flags at City Hall.
My concern before was that it seemed like a kneejerk reaction from someone based on what other cities were doing.
But as Bunk and others explained, that there is a process (similar to regular city permits) for the city hall flags, which seems totally reasonable to me.
Throughout this conversation, I felt the concern was with the process, not the cause.
