An update to a Los Angeles' city ordinance allows the Pride flag to be raised at City Hall and other locations.The Pride flag will be raised over Los Angeles City Hall for the first time after the mayor signed an ordinance that was unanimously approved by the City Council.
The flag will fly over City Hall during June after an update to city ordinance on flag regulations. The City Charter, section 7.66, prohibits flags other than the American, California and city flags from being raised at City Hall or any other city facilities.The council members introduced the motion in June 2023, but were too late to raise the flag that year for the month of LGBTQ+ celebrations.“I’m proud to have signed this historic motion to fly the pride flag over City Hall," Bass said.
The original Pride Flag depicted multicolored stripes similar to a rainbow. A 2018 re-design by graphic designer Daniel Quasar added black, brown and pink stripes to the classic Rainbow Flag to place a greater emphasis on “inclusion and progression'' and became known as the Progress Pride Flag.
