Rob Ford wanted rainbow flag removed from Toronto City Hall

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says he does not support having the rainbow flag flying at city hall during the Sochi Games, and initially wanted it taken down. But after meetings with other councillors, one councillor says Ford has agreed to let the flag fly.

The flag, an international symbol of gay rights, went up on one of the flagpoles outside city hall just as the opening ceremonies were underway in Russia Friday. The flag-raising was meant as a response to Olympic host country Russia's anti-gay laws. Several other municipalities around Canada have done the same.

"This is about Olympics," Ford told reporters. "This is about being patriotic to your country, this is not about someone's sexual preference."

Shortly after Ford made the comments, Coun. Anthony Perruzza went into the mayor's office to speak to him about the rainbow flag.

2. Is flag approval one of the few duties he has left?

For someone who apparently "has lots of gay friends" he sure takes a lot of offense to anything that has to do with them.

3. Luckily he doesn't get to decide on the flag

and because of that he had another toddler tantrum and tacked the Canadian flag to the window in his office.

4. His office

under the stairs, with his comic books, flashlight and blanky. He might run away from home too. That'll show 'em.
