    misleading title:

    In addition to the Pride flag, the measure approved by voters bans religious flags and breast cancer awareness flags, according to the Los Angeles Blade.

    the measure only applies to city property and does not “ban” individuals from anything. but whatever gets clicks i guess 🤷‍♀️

      If you know anything about Huntington Beach, the Florida of Orange County, you’d know it’s exactly because of the Pride flag. They’ve been trying to get it removed for years and this is their work around.

      Edit: Additional context

      California town proposes ban on Pride, Black and women’s history celebrations. Far-right council members in Huntington Beach introduce agenda item to switch focus to US wars and America’s independence

        the measure only applies to city property

        Seems fair to me. They probably wouldn’t want people hanging up football flags or “don’t tread on me” flags.

      Yeah, horrible title from a biased source.

      Only irrational people would expect more.
