Overview
- Council member Gina Driscoll introduced the 'Harmony' and 'History' flag designs to signal inclusion for LGBTQ+ residents and to honor Black history.
- Driscoll’s motion to adopt the flags did not receive a second, leading the council to delay action.
- A citywide meeting in about two weeks will consider the flag proposal alongside other responses to the mural removals.
- The flags would be flown at appropriate times, likely during Pride Month in June and Black History Month in February.
- DeSantis spokeswoman Molly Best called the proposed flags unnecessary, while Mayor Ken Welch advances plans to replace erased murals using public feedback and Arts Committee input.
