DELANO, Calif. (KGET) — There was controversy in Delano following a vote by the city council to remove the Pride flag from government flag poles. The preliminary vote makes Delano the second city in California to prohibit the Pride flag on government property. With this newly proposed policy, the Pride and firefighter flags will be coming down. Delano's Monday night city council meeting was filled with residents split down the middle between keeping or changing the city's flag policy. To put it simply keeping the policy the same would keep the Pride flag up on the flagpole between June 1 through the 13 but changing the policy would mean that flag would never go back up on government property in the city.
