California city bans non-government flags, angering LGBTQ groups

  Government offices should fly 2 flags: state and country. While I like the idea of a government building running a pride flag, I’m willing to give that up to never see a confederate flag fly again.

    I 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)

      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 :)

    When did any US government buildings the Confederate flag?

      Ive seen the stars and bars at the courthouse in Shreveport, but that was years ago.

  Conservatives truly are the biggest crybabies.

    As with everything they say (especially their favourite “snowflake” insult) it’s all projection. Biggest hypocrites of them all.
