“Only government flags, as well as the POW/MIA flag, will be allowed to fly on Orange County property — including parks — after Tuesday’s 3-2 vote in the Board of Supervisor’s first meeting of Pride Month.”
That depends on which Orange County supervisor you ask.
Do, who along with Wagner are the two Republicans on the board, said in his comments that his agenda item had nothing to do with any cause or social issue. He added that government flags represent all county residents. Chaffee, a Democrat seen as the swing vote, said during his initial comments that he wanted more time to think about his vote. In the end, however, he sided with Do and Wagner.
“This is really a political decision,” Foley said. “As the sixth largest economy in America, as the fourth largest economy in the state of California, as the home of Disneyland, Vans, so many major corporations who are inclusive ... they are supporting Pride. Not because it’s divisive but because it’s inclusive. For me, I think it’s farcical that we are even having this conversation.”“We’ve spent millions of dollars investing in suicide prevention,” she said.
Reaction was swift Tuesday among the local LGBTQ+ community. Neah Lehan, an Irvine native who identifies as LGBTQ+, said the vote was disheartening.
