Ahead of Pride Month in June, many city halls nationwide are discussing whether or not Pride flags should be allowed to fly outside their facilities. Locally, the topic is being discussed by city leaders in La Mesa and Carlsbad.
On Tuesday night, the lone Republican on La Mesa’s city council, Laura Lothian, sent a memo to fellow councilmembers and the mayor asking for only government flags to be flown at City Hall. After two hours of testimony from 40 public commenters, the majority of whom were opposed to Lothian’s proposal, she ended up not making a motion on the issue. La Mesa will continue to allow the Pride flag to be flown outside of City Hall during Pride Month.
On the same night over in Carlsbad, city councilmembers voted on changing their policy to allow commemorative flags to be flown outside of City Hall, including the Pride flag. Three Carlsbad city councilmembers, including Priya Bhat-Patel, voted in favor of allowing commemorative flags and two voted against it.
