CA: Pride flag flies at the Hall of Administration -- a first for an L.A. County building
Thirty-one years after the downtown Hall of Administration was named after her father, then-supervisor and liberal reformer Kenneth Hahn, Supervisor Janice Hahn witnessed history Thursday: the flying of a Pride flag at the building honoring her dad.
The event at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration kicked off LGBTQ+ Pride Month and marked the first time a Pride flag flew over a Los Angeles County building.
The Progress Pride Flag will fly daily at county offices during Pride Month, and the timing felt right to Janice Hahn, the board chair. She was co-author of the resolution with Lindsey Horvath, supervisor for District 3.
“We are seeing anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans bills being passed at an alarming rate across the country,” Hahn said in a statement after the five-member board unanimously voted in March to fly the Pride flag at county offices every year. “Here in Los Angeles County we’re making our position clear: in the largest county in the nation, LGBTQ+ residents have the unwavering support of their government.”
