Muslim city council bans Pride flags citing discrimination concerns in Michigan community

Hamtramck City Council in Michigan banned LGBTQ Pride flags from being displayed on all city properties.
The decision was made after a tense hourslong meeting that raised questions about discrimination, religion, and the city’s reputation for welcoming newcomers.
Some members of the all-Muslim council said the Pride flag clashes with the beliefs of some members of their faith.
The council voted unanimously to display only five flags, including the American flag, the Michigan flag, and one that represents the native countries of immigrant residents.
Businesses and residents aren’t prohibited from displaying a Pride flag on their own property.
