Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.

    So yes, but also this is slightly different than that. It’s about the department itself flying the flag. Still absolutely insane, but slightly less insane than that. The end result, if this person wins, is literally no flags or any other messaging. “My religion doesn’t support nationalism.” This would also include extreme stances like “my religion doesn’t support the periodic table” or things like that.
