Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman hung an LGBTQ Pride flag on the balcony of his state Capitol office, but it was removed after flying for just a few hours. State employees took down the flag in cooperation with a provision backed by state Republicans last year that bans flags that aren’t approved by lawmakers from flying at the Capitol. The provision against flying flags outside the Capitol building was slipped into the state’s fiscal code in 2020, an annual bill passed that includes instructions on state spending. The provision prohibits flying any flag other than the American flag, Pennsylvania’s state flag or a flag honoring missing American soldiers. Fetterman said he will continue to fly the flag in protest of Pennsylvania’s lack of protections for the community.
