    If you know anything about Huntington Beach, the Florida of Orange County, you’d know it’s exactly because of the Pride flag. They’ve been trying to get it removed for years and this is their work around.

    Edit: Additional context

      the measure only applies to city property

      Seems fair to me. They probably wouldn’t want people hanging up football flags or “don’t tread on me” flags.
