The city of Dublin, California has decided it will not fly the LGBTQ Pride flag over city hall after it was proposed by a gay city council member and then shot down by a number of hateful residents who spoke out at a public forum.
At a city council meeting the bigots spoke loudly, asking if the city then has to fly the Confederate flag or the Black Lives Matter flag, or a communist flag.
Said another resident: “At the end of the day, I believe there is another letter that to the end that is being propagated actually at our state capital right now and that is p for pedophile.”
Said Councilmember Shawn Kumagai: “As a gay man and growing up through the marriage equality fight and serving in the military under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, I know we have some work to do in this area.”
