Carlsbad residents put forward suggestions for other flags to be flown at City Hall after a Pride one was approved to be placed there in June.
The Confederate flag flies on the Capitol grounds on June 23, 2015 in Columbia, South Carolina. Residents in the Californian city of Carlsbad suggested flying such a flag above City Hall after the Pride one was placed there in June.The suggestion to fly other ideological flags after the pro-LGBTQ+ flag was displayed during Pride month was met with support by Melanie Burkholder, Carlsbad City Council member.
Other local residents who spoke at Tuesday's meeting expressed their shock at the suggestion that the Confederate flag—"It would be abominable. It would make Carlsbad a city that is not safe for everyone," one Carlsbad resident said. Burkholder added that she was not in support of flying any flag in particular, but that the council should adopt uniform policy around which one to fly above City Hall.
The city failed to adopt a policy on flags on Tuesday, with Carlsbad Mayor Keith Blackburn saying:"It seems like we got a little derailed, with too much time spent on flags. We are ready to move on."
