All-Muslim council bans LGBTQ+ flags from Michigan city property

The vote ruled that the only flags allowed would be the Prisoner of War flag along with those representing city, state, America, and any other nations representing the native countries of immigrant residents

Newsroom June 16 05:58

An all-Muslim city council in suburban Detroit has unanimously voted to ban LGBTQ+ flags from city property.

The Hamtramck City Council’s vote came after a tense, nearly four-hour debate Tuesday night, during which one woman — bizarrely wearing a comedy red nose — smooched a woman with her in protest of the ban.

“You guys are welcome,” council member Nayeem Choudhury told the kissing women.

But “why do you have to have the flag shown on government property to be represented?” he asked.
