Voters in Huntington Beach, California, have approved a ban on flying Pride flags on city property. The measure passed with 58% of voters in favor. From NBC News:
Measure B prohibits the display of Pride, breast cancer awareness, and religious flags. This is believed to be the first time voters have directly considered what kind of flags are flown in a city.
Measure B exempts city, county, and state flags, as well as the U.S. and armed forces flags, from the ban. Commemorative banners, like those for POW-MIAs or the Olympics, also would be allowed in places like City Hall.
The ballot measure enshrines into the city charter an ordinance approved last year by the conservative City Council majority, which undid a previous council vote in favor of flying the rainbow flag on city buildings during Pride Month in June.
