Do we have to allow political statements in front our public buildings? If so, how about a dem or gop flag.... or pro life, anti abortion... Don't let this type of display get started because you'll never be able to stop it.
This isn't appropriate in any sense of the word.

Equality for all is not a political statement. The city should allow it. Would be interesting to see who the neighborhood racists and bigots are when they speak against this at the meeting.

There is no good reason to open up this can of worms. One flag one nation under God!

No way!!! There is only one flag that should be flying and that is the American flag. Why offend residents who may not agree with whatever the flavor of the month flag is.

Huh? This is not about replacing the American flag. The city hall already flies the American flag, the California flag, and the San Ramon flag. A flag that represents equality is not a replacement for any of these flags. It's sad that some people view Black Lives Matter or Pride as "flavors of the month".

EQ I don't see anyone talking about replacing the American flag. My point is that it's a slippery slope. Is it equally acceptable to you to fly a Nazi or NAMBLA flag? Where do you draw the line?

LGBTQ+ issues are not limited to politics. I talk to parents almost weekly who are from various religions, different politics, with frankly not many unifying characteristics - except that we all have kids who are lgbgtq+. When your kid cries to you expressing their undeniable feelings, knowing you'll be disappointed with their truth - then come talk to me. My kid came out at age 20. It's not my fault - or his. There's no fault to assign. He's awesome and heading to law school now after graduating magna cum laude. Proud mama here! fyi - You might be surprised by my politics and religion. Neither of us wants to convert anyone... we just want what's fair.

The Dude, it is actually possible to say that we are ok with symbols of love and equality and justice, and not ok with symbols of hate.
