REP. CORREA STATEMENT ON OC BOARD OF SUPERVISORS VOTE TO BAR FLYING PRIDE FLAG OUTSIDE COUNTY OFFICES

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, in response to the Orange County Board of Supervisors vote to mandate that only county, state and U.S. flags be flown outside county offices, excluding the Pride flag during Pride Month, Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) released the following statement: 

“I’m saddened to hear that the Orange County Board of Supervisors voted today to exclude the Pride flag from being flown during Pride Month. Simply put, that action does not represent the values of Orange County,” said Rep. Correa. “During Pride Month, we should be uplifting LGBTQ+ history and voices to show the world that our community welcomes all, no matter who you are or who you love. Our County should be supporting Pride every day and everywhere—not because it is divisive, but because it is inclusive of all who call Orange County home.”
