Another example of how disgusting things happen when religious values intercede with political decisions. Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, etc., it doesn't matter!

Actually thats pretty neutral and reasonable. If it's not related to a government entity it doesn't belong on government property. Government isn't supposed to express solidarity or values with ANY group.

That isn't how I interpret it. I don't see a problem with people using parks for celebrations and using flags as part of their celebration.

For example, should a kid graduating high school not be allowed to have pride flags at the park if they are having their graduation party at a park in Hamtramck? Same goes for someone graduating high school who was born in like Syria or Iraq and came to the U.S. later on. Or even Ukraine refugees. It also impacts possible gatherings at like city centers and such. I don't understand why in Hamtramck, a city with a sizable Eastern Euro and Middle East population, these people should be restricted from using their flags as symbols of solidarity.

I interpret it to mean flown on the buildings the way Ann Arbor does.

From reading the article you linked, it says Hamtramck is not going to put flags on city property.
What the city wants to do, and your example of bring flags and banners and balloons to a graduation or wedding picnic, don't seem to be the same thing, and least to me.

But just for the grins and giggles, let me ask you this question:
Bubba's boy has made it thru high school. Bubba rents the pavilion at the park, and flies some Confederate flags.
Would you be the first one saying it he shouldn't be allowed to do that?

Why restrict someone's freedom of speech? It's the best way to recognize they're a loser. Let them fly the flag and let me laugh at him.

Correct answer. It's an international symbol for losers.
