The Hamtramck City Council voted to remove Russ Gordon and Cathy Stackpoole from the Hamtramck Human Relations Commission after they flew a Pride flag on city property.

The Council voted to ban Pride flags, among others, due to opposition from religious groups who disagree with the ideology represented by the symbol.

The Hamtramck, Michigan city council agreed to ban Pride flags on public property, Tuesday, June 13, 2023. "We are confirming the neutrality of the City of Hamtramck we decided to stay neutral," said Mayor Amer Ghalib to FOX 2 earlier."Flags that pertain to any religious, racial, ethnic or sexual-oriented group . Exceptions are the American flag, state and city flags, POW MIA."

The June meeting took a strange turn when a woman in a clown nose took the podium to mock the Pride flag debate.
