After the Downey City Council adopted a 'neutral'' flag policy, the Pride flag now flies at eight Los Angeles County-owned properties in the area.
You won't see the Pride flag outside Downey City Hall or at city-owned buildings, which has many people outraged.Supervisor Janice Hahn, who represents the county's 1st District, which includes Downey and other southeast cities, held a celebration Monday to raise the Pride flag outside the county Office of Education in Downey in honor of Pride Month.
"Pride was not born out of a need to celebrate, Pride was born out of a need to survive," said the mayor, who's gay. "You are out of touch with your community," said Trujillo. "Downey is a loving, accepting city. I hate the fact that we're embroiled in news across America because three of my colleagues, instead of choosing to be allies and stand for the people they promised to represent, chose to stand with a hate group and that is wrong."
