Mayor of Reading, PA Reverses Course; Now Says ‘Pride Flag’ Can Fly Over City Hall

READING, Pa. (AP) — The mayor of the eastern Pennsylvania city of Reading has reversed course and says he will allow the LGBTQ rainbow flag to fly over City Hall for the first time. Mayor Wally Scott last week called off a scheduled ceremony to raise the “pride flag,” calling it a political symbol. But the Reading Eagle reports that Scott posted a video on his Facebook page Saturday saying he had changed his mind. He said “I told them they can put the flag up. I just asked them to keep the politics out of it.”
