The new policy reversed the previous one that allowed the LGBTQ+ Pride flag to fly at Downey city buildings during 'specific historic events or causes,' KTLA reported.
Councilmembers adopted the 'neutral flag policy' with a 3-2 vote, indicating concerns about selectively allowing flags for various causes at city buildings.
'This is not progress. This is a step backwards for my city,' Trujillo said, expressing disappointment and concern about the decision to exclude the LGBTQ+ Pride flag.
Mass Resistance's campaign against the Pride flag led to its exclusion from Downey's city buildings, showcasing tensions between different groups and perspectives within the community.
