Mike Ferrari and Bob Plominski have lived in Eastland Cove, a small suburban development north of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for about 10 years. “We call it our little oasis,” Mr.
Ferrari said. Over the years, he said, the couple have flown various flags outside their home in Oakland Park, including flags for political candidates, the March for Our Lives and the Pride flag.
No one had ever complained, he said, until this month when the couple hung a small rainbow flag from their mailbox to celebrate Pride Month.
A few days later, on June 8, Mr. Ferrari said, the couple received a notice from the Eastland Cove Homeowners Association warning that they could be fined if the flag was not removed.
