BOSTON (AP) — The Satanic Temple is requesting to fly a flag over Boston City Hall after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week that the city violated the free speech rights of a conservative activist seeking to fly a Christian flag outside the downtown building.
The Salem-based group tweeted a request filed Tuesday with the city property management department to raise a flag marking “Satanic Appreciation Week” from July 23-29.
Mayor Michelle Wu’s office declined to comment on the group’s request other than to say it’s reviewing the high court’s decision while also evaluating its flag-raising program.
Lucien Greaves, the organization’s co-founder, said in an email Wednesday that the group wants to show that religious liberty must mean respect for “all forms” of religious practice and religious opinion.
The organization hasn’t decided which of its official flags it will ask the city to fly, Greaves said, but one likely option echoes the American flag, only with black and white stripes and an emblem of a pentagram and goat skull where the 50 stars would be.

They’re not a serious group.
Can the Flaming Butthole Boosters Association of Beantown be far behind?
No.
Progressive morality was constructed on the bones of Christian civilization and as it attempts to cannibalize the last remnants of its host the unsustainable nature of the project starts to become obvious https://t.co/wRiRY333UX— Auron MacIntyre (@AuronMacintyre) May 4, 2022
Government buildings should display state and national flags ONLY. Once you allow things like BLM or rainbow flags, you then become legally obligated to fly flags from every group under the sun.
When you arrive in Hell, ask Satan the same question.
More theater of the absurd. Yes they can. Does anyone give a s#!t about their "beliefs"?
Agree....we all knew this was coming.
Probably on the ACLU’s speed dial.
Lol. I wouldn’t doubt it.
Who cares.
What’s sauce for the goose ....
They’re like pastafarians, only satanic.
Only one week for appreciation of Satan? I thought this was the Satan appreciation century.
Yeah. They have issues with God of the immature. Resisting what they know is true.
