Los Angeles County officials raised the Progress Pride Flag over the downtown Hall of Administration Thursday, marking the first time a Pride flag has flown over a county building.
Marking the beginning of Pride Month, Los Angeles County officials raised the Progress Pride Flag over the downtown Hall of Administration Thursday -- the first time a Pride flag has flown over a county building.
The flag of Gay Pride first flew 45 years ago on Freedom Day in San Francisco. It was created by Gilbert Baker with the input of gay activist and Supervisor Harvey Milk. With its eight brilliantly colored stripes -- representing sex, life, healing, sunlight, nature, magic and art, serenity and spirit -- the banner flaunted the values and dignity of the gay community. And in its varied versions, it has done so ever since.
Despite a unanimous vote two years ago to allow the Pride flag to be flown at City Hall, the city of Huntington Beach recently overturned the vote and will now only allow city, state and national flags to regularly be flown at City Hall.
