Following a tense council meeting, the City of Carlsbad decided it would not fly commemorative flags at city hall, with the Pride flag in June the lone exception.
The issue was brought up by City Councilmember Melanie Burkholder, who said other residents wanted other flags flown as well. The city had already taken up a flag policy agenda item back in May.
During Tuesday's meeting, community members spoke out against those flags, saying they were divisive and not the same as the Pride flag. Burkholder said during the meeting she was not suggesting flying those flags, only bringing up her constituents' requests and trying to prove the need for a flag policy in the city, although the agenda made no mention of a flag policy.
