This American town has banned Pride flags on town property
The Enfield Town Council has voted in a majority ruling to ban pride flags and only allow American flag, the Connecticut state flag and military flags on town property.
On 8 January, the town council featured “Resolution to Adopt a Policy for the Display and Flying of Flags on Town Property” on the agenda.
During the meeting, council proposed and questioned the new policy that was passed in a close six-to-five majority and “repealed” any previous policies regarding flags.
The new policy states that “only the American flag, state of Connecticut flag, MIAPOW flag and the flags of the various military services of the United States may be displayed or flown on town owned real property including but not limited to buildings and grounds.” Initially the first draft included town-owned vehicles, furniture, furnishings, however this was amended to only town buildings and flag poles, excluding grounds.
