Huntington Beach voters pass ban on Pride, other flags
Voters in Huntington Beach approved a measure this week that limits what flags can fly on city property.
Measure B passed with more than 58% of the vote following Tuesday’s polling, according to the Orange County Registrar of Voters election results.
Part of the measure states that only the United States flag, the State of California flag, the County of Orange flag, the City of Huntington Beach flag, the POW-MIA flag, the six Armed Forces flags and the Olympic flag during the Summer Olympic Games be displayed on City property.
That part of the measure currently bans Pride, breast cancer awareness and religious flags.
There is a loophole however should the City decide in the future to fly another flag.
The measure stated that any other flag could be flown if authorized by a unanimous vote of the City Council.
The ordinance was originally passed by the Huntington Beach City Council last year and now becomes part of the City Charter.
