Twisted Element’s landlord is open to having smaller pride flags showcased on the bar’s portion of the building, and they can remain there permanently after the owners submit a proposal.
On Tuesday, Calgary LGBTQ bar Twisted Element was ordered to remove a massive rainbow flag — which was hoisted in wake of the Orlando shooting — after the owners broke their lease agreement with the landlord by not asking to cover the top-floor windows. The upstairs tenant is currently not physically in the space.
In a statement, landlord Trevor Tominak said he and the bar owners have come to a compromise.
But Twisted Element owner RayJean Fafard said the issue is now a moot point due to what occured on Tuesday.
