Let this be a reminder that there are closed-minded conservative bigots with enough people to vote them into office even in the bluest cities.
I’ve never heard of Downey, California. Is it a blue city?
I honestly don’t know it well enough to say. I never really got out that way when I lived in L.A., but there are enough evangelicals in L.A. (they have made huge inroads in the Latino community) that this does not surprise me one little bit.

Did they only ban the pride flag or all flags that are not government related?
Believe it or not, the article answers that question
So it is all flags that are not government related.
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.
(I’d even be down with removing the POW flag.)
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.
