Huntington Beach is moving forward with a plan that would ban the city from flying the LGBTQ flag, as well as others, at City Hall.
The Democratic members of the council, however, pushed back on Burns’ claim.
Council member Dan Kalmick pointed out that the body had previously passed a policy that allows members to vote to fly whatever flag they want to fly. Burns’ proposal, he argued, would remove the council’s ability to make decisions, which is what members were elected to do.

Huntington Beach regularly hosts professional surfing tournaments.
