The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the city of Boston violated the free speech rights of a Christian group by refusing to fly a flag bearing the image of a cross at City Hall as part of a programme that let private groups use the flagpole while holding events in the plaza below.
US Supreme Court backs Christian group in Boston flag case (msn.com)
It seems Boston clearly discriminated.
And a correct decision, too. If that pole is dedicated to the use of groups holding permitted events, then Christians should be treated in exactly the same way. If you can run up the rainbow flag on Pride Day, then running up a flag with a cross on it during a Christian event should be treated no differently.
Everyone has seen images of Toronto's iconic City Hall.
Here is the list of flags that will flew there in 2021.
