have they banned Nazi and Confederate flags too?

RvTV95XBeo,

I know reading articles is tough, and I’m not a fan of HB, or this policy, but the very easy to find answer is yes.

By public referendum they voted to limit flags on public buildings to exclusively government and POW flags.

cool, thanks

shalafi,

Look, I get the culture war shit going on here. I get the hate and get that LGBT rights are human rights. And I’ll fight for that. (And, unlike most libs, that’s not just a cute slogan for me. I mean it. When the trains start, my family first, but I’ll do what little I can for the rest of you.)

But let me flip this around. Are y’all saying my group, whatever that may be, has a right to fly our flag on government property? Discuss.

My take: No flags on government property but Old Glory, state and city flags. Full stop. Not even the POW flag. Official government flags only.

This beach town is slowly dying. Rising sea levels are already swallowing it’s beaches during the highest tides and they will eventually demolish the city itself. And these myopic GOP voters would rather ban pride month flags than recognize the climate crisis they are leaving their grandchildren.

We don’t need to pretend this flag ban is a serious issue by serious voters.

AdamEatsAss,

How much of Huntington Beach is city property? Seems like a law only designed to signal the local governments values.

the_crotch,

Outlawing pride flags on private property would be laughably unconstitutional

Nurse_Robot,

Well that’s fucking stupid.

Huntington Beach - Great location filled with the most awful people

porksoda,

I knew before evening opening the article it was HB.

Huntington Beach, the high desert by the sea.

friend_of_satan,

I knew this would be Huntington Beach from the headline alone, and I’ve never even lived in socal. Sucks that that town is the way it is.

gravitas_deficiency,

lol for real though I had the exact same kneejerk reaction. It’s a stereotype for a reason.
