After their HOA made a rule banning all flags except the American flag, the gay couple found a creative way to still show off their pride this June.
Memo Fachino and Lance Mier didn’t want to rustle any feathers. They just wanted to show off their pride this June by displaying a flag.
The couple, who have been together for eight years and married for five, love the community they call home in Racine, Wisconsin. However, last year, amid the numerous dissenting political and social opinions that emerged, their local homeowner association put forth a policy that no flags other than the American flag could be flown on properties.
But the couple still wanted to show off their pride. They found a loophole in the rules — yes, flags were banned, but nothing was noted about lights. “When I first met Memo, I don't think he was so into pride, and myself for sure. When I was younger, I was out, but it's not like I was proud and talking about it,” Mier said. “But we recognize that we're privileged and lucky to be able to talk about it and be able to share it and I do truly feel pride now.”
