CA City’s Voters Ban Pride Flags On Public Property

Yahoo News reports:

The rainbow Pride flag and other nongovernmental banners will no longer fly on city property in Huntington Beach, California, an oceanside side community that has become a hotbed for broader culture wars. More than 58% of voters cast ballots in favor of Measure B.
Measure B prohibits the display of Pride, breast cancer awareness and religious flags, in what is believed to be the first time voters have directly considered what kind of flags are flown in a city.
Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark [photo] voted in favor of the flag ordinance. She said that she is frustrated by California’s liberal supermajority and that this was a way to counter the governance coming from the state capital.

The local attack on rainbow flags began in 2022 when OAN host Alison Steinberg had a literal screaming meltdown after spotting one. Huntington Beach has a population of 200,000.
