Two Vancouver lawyers have offered up their private parking lots in Merritt, B.C., to a group of high school students whose proposal for a rainbow crosswalk was rejected by city council. If the high school students want to paint the whole lot rainbow, I’ll let them and I’ll even donate to the cost of the paint. Lee sent an email to School District 58 on Friday morning to offer the use of her private parking lots. "You've got these lovely high school students who are recognizing the diversity in their own school, recognizing the desire to have greater acceptance of people," Doroshenko said. "When people go to Merritt this summer, somewhere in Merritt there's going to be either a rainbow path or rainbow crosswalk, and I'm looking forward to seeing it," Doroshenko said.
