While Montgomery City Hall has been prominently flying bright, colorful flags to celebrate Pride Month, the city, state and U.S. flags have been conspicuously missing recently.

During the month of June, cities across the globe display pride flags and other related insignia to show support for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed has publicly voiced his support for Pride Month, saying, “In building A New Montgomery, we're creating a more inclusive city -- one that prioritizes the needs of all communities, including our LGBTQ+ friends, loved ones and neighbors.”




quote:

In line with that initiative, the downtown area of Montgomery has been adorned with pride flags along the city streets, including by City Hall.

The front of the City Hall has two flag poles to display the city, state and national flags. On Monday, the poles stood bare, surrounded by a sea of waving pride flags posted on street lamp polls.


quote:

The three government flags were flown across the street, however, in the city-owned Lister Hill Plaza, albeit in various states of disrepair.




quote:

When asked about why the three flags were excluded from City Hall while the gay pride flag was on display, a spokesman for the city told 1819 News, "The City of Montgomery raises and lowers the American flag, the State of Alabama flag and the City of Montgomery flag every day at City Hall, and every City facility flies the American flag and the City flag every day."

Because the terrorists will threaten to march on the city if you don't advertise their sexuality.

Diversity is actually what destroyed Montgomery and turned once outstanding schools like Lee and JD into shite holes.

The pride flag is also flying with the American and state flag at the Montgomery VA headquarters.

With Steven Reed, it's not surprising. That guy is as big a crook as his old man was and he thinks he's Obama Junior.

To hell with em all. frick em. Let em march and when they show their asses or dicks, arrest them for obscenity. This insanity has gone far enough. The reason they demand acceptance as normal is because they know deep in side themselves it isn't normal. They normal people's acceptance. Unacceptable behavior should not be accepted.
Go do whatever you want but stop trying to make the rest of us say it is ok.

Montgomery needs a new mayor and city government overhaul. It is disgraceful for this to happen in the South.

Montgomery. The first capital of the Confederate States of America. My Unc ran a law firm out of the Capital building. They fled to Birmingham after retirement, but I am not sure it was much of an upgrade.

Make sure anybody you know in Montg actually votes in August. The scumbag Mayor was caught on tape putting down black votes and he has competition from the Probate Judge, who is black, and the former Mayor who was competent. I've never heard anybody say anything bad about the Probate Judge, though I do not know his story.

You left out Sidney Lanier ... one of the great U.S. High Schools ... you won't find many high schools in the country who have turned out more successful or famous people... Bart Starr, Zelda Fitzgerald, Richmond Flowers, Toni Tennille, Hank Williams (did not graduate there), military leaders, pro athletes, and many more.
LINK

In the 60s, early 70s, the Lee- Lanier football rivalry was one of the tops in the country.
LINK

Lanier was an educator and poet. The city changed the name of the high school a couple of years ago because he was a "soldier" in the Civil War.

... just wanted to set the record straight on the top high school there. :)
