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.

    this is an example of how sometimes minority groups can, themselves, punch down on other minority groups. if there’s consolation it’s that Hamtramck’s all-Muslim council is almost certainly on the wrong side of this even with just the Muslims they’re claiming to respect the rights of in doing this: 61% and climbing were fine with homosexuality as of 2017–and no doubt the number is higher today.
