I don't understand why being gay would be something deserving honor or recognition. I personally don't care with who or how you have sexual relations with. I just don't understand why it would be honored with its own flag. You live in California you live in the United States you are recognized with those two flags. Get over it.

Ridiculous that they even have to acknowledge something like this so far as to have a vote.

Their pride is at some deep knowing level probably an expression of their rebellion against the Lord and an attempt to reassure themselves that the absolute terror they feel at the core of their being is something else.

I don’t support the whole PRIDE thing....why be proud of who you have sex with? You’d think they’d be happy to just be left alone ...but NO - they have to have parades where they often show off in ways that would get most normal people arrested.

Would a gay flag or BLM flag be similar to an American flag in some respects?

“Burning an American flag is considered free expression or free speech according to court rulings.”

“The Court has recognized that the First Amendment protects certain forms of symbolic speech. Flag burning is such a form of symbolic speech. When a flag is privately owned, the owner should be able to burn it if the owner chooses, especially if this action is meant in the form of protest.”
uscourts.gov

But desecration of our flag....

This is—I believe—a Republican and heavily military area of California.

Why can’t the gaysbians and other leftists leave such areas alone? There are PLENTY of pro-LGBT areas of California that are festooned with rainbow flags. Enough is enough!!!!

That’s probably why they’re pushing it - nothing pleases them more than constant media exposure during a lawsuit.

Is this going to result in one of those announcements from the California State Government, of the form “The State Of California will no longer permit travel by State Employees to the city of Huntington Beach.”

Soon every kind of pervert known to man and Martian is going to demand his own flag be flow in front of city hall. It’ll never end.
