The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to only permit U.S. government and military-related flags to be flown at county properties, effectively barring Pride flags from being flown.
Pride flags will not fly at Orange County government-owned properties after a vote Tuesday by the county Board of Supervisors.
Supervisor Katrina Foley, who was against the measure, told The Times on Tuesday that the vote was “part of a larger picture of trying to coalesce a viewpoint together that is not about progress, not about a diverse, inclusive community, but holding on to some remnant of the past that isn’t really reflective of mainstream America.”The measure was supported by Supervisors Do, Don Wagner and Doug Chaffee and opposed by Foley and Vicente Sarmiento.
“I don’t believe for a second,” she said, that the flag measure “wasn’t directly correlated to our request.” Supervisor Wagner said the request “inexplicably came too late” for it to be automatically added to the agenda.
