On Sunday morning the American Flag on top of City Hall in Downtown Reno was replaced by the LGBT Flag following a gay pride celebration this weekend. By Sunday evening, the LGBT flag was taken down and now the American Flag is back up.
The decision to replace the flag has been controversial. Many locals have expressed concerns over the American flag's removal. Around 9:00 p.m. our Channel 2 News crew was able to confirm the LGBT flag was taken down around 9:00 p.m. Sunday, and the American Flag was put back in its place.
The City of Reno released this statement to Channel 2 News saying; "The city of Reno honors and respects the men and women who serve our country and we apologize to those we may have offended. While we made an error in not flying the American flag along with the pride flag, when we discovered we were not flying both, we immediately returned to flying the American flag. Neither the Mayor nor City Council was aware we were not flying the American flag. The City was proud to participate in pride weekend and will continue to celebrate our diverse community."

Confederate Flag offends some - take it down forever and/or vandalize it.
Gay Flag offends some - fly it INSTEAD of the American flag

When, in the name of tolerance, will they fly the ISIS flag in “solidarity” with all those radical Islamists in this country who want to destroy it?

They should have never put it back up. We had better come to terms with this stinging fact: America is dead and her flag stands for nothing. Every American flag should be upside down or retired. We have to revive the country if we want the flag to have any meaning.

At least they recognize the two flags are mutually exclusive.

They knew they’d have to take it down. Better to ask forgiveness than ask permission.

Do they even have Hot August Nights anymore? If so, no Patriot should be there.

Go to Sparks and stay at the Nugget. Better than downtown Reno anyway.

At least they recognize the two flags are mutually exclusive. Local news just reported that mayor Hillary said pulling the 'Mirkin flag was a mistake, they were supposed to fly side-by-side.
