Blue line flags are a desecration of our country’s flag. Surprised conservatives aren’t ashamed about that.
Come up with an original design, you know, like a pride flag :)
Comment on California city bans non-government flags, angering LGBTQ groups
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 9 months agoI doubt this was an issue in California with the confederate battle flag.
I’ve never seen any state fly the confederate flag.
Government buildings should only fly official government flags. While I support the blue line. It shouldn’t be flown at buildings. It’s not an official flag. Same with the rainbow flag or a plethora of other flags.

Here are two examples:
South Carolina
Alabama (also discusses other states, such as how Mississippi and Georgia formerly had flags with a confederate flag embedded in the design)

Those are battle flags. That isn’t the confederate flag. At least looking at the photos those are just battle flags. Which are less appropriate than flying the flag for a government.
My grandma had a battle flag but she never displayed it. It’s because it’s the battle flag her grandpa had in the civil war. Wish someone had the sense to donate it to a museum but I suspect it was disposed of.
People often confuse the battle flag with the confederate flag. Battle flags were to identify units on the battlefield.
