A Detroit-area community has banned LGBTQ+ flags from publicly owned poles. The unanimous vote by the Hamtramck City Council came during a tense meeting that raised questions about discrimination, religion and the city's reputation for welcoming newcomers.

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.

    Color me shocked it wasn’t an all white/male/christian town council.

    I’m sure many of those folks were OK with it, too.
