    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.

        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.
