Los Angeles County will continue to display the flag on its properties, including those in Downey, where County Supervisor Janice Hahn will host a flag-raising ceremony Monday. The city ban apparently came at the behest of an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group.
to allow only the U.S. flag, state flag, city flag, and the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flag to be flown on city property
So what’s the problem? I’m a liberal gun owner. Can I fly my snowflake flag or my defend equality flag? Someone will completely miss the point and say, “But my flag is different!” Which is why:
Only US, state and city flags on government property.
Yes, the point of the ban is to shutout LGBT voices. I get that and I’m still OK with the end result, even if the origin is foul.
It wasn’t an issue until hate groups made it one. They want to take the little victories away from us, and you are OK with the end result. Shame on you.
It sounds like you misunderstand the situation. The city banned flying any flag not approved on city-owned property; like police stations, city hall, etc. This is not a ban for the residents. The distinction is important, because it only serves to disenfranchise certain voters. And about that: how could you call yourself liberal if you’re okay with disenfranchisement of any kind? You might as well call yourself libertarian.

(I’d even be down with removing the POW flag.)

If that’s the intent, why is the POW/MIA flag given an exception? That’s not a US, state, or city flag.
It’s pretty clear what the intent is of this.
