Obviously they fly the flags they hoist in these things in third place of honor -- America, State, then whatever they're honoring.
There may be reasons Boston refuses to fly a non-secular flag that are more to do with where to put it to make everyone happy, and why it may be a long-standing policy only getting press after pride flags were flown.
In fact, the US flag code recognizes the conflict with national and religious flags by the note about the US flag's superiority "except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy".
It's just not a good idea. If they accept the position of least honor, they're betraying the principles upon which the flag they want to fly are based around.
