TL;DR

The Hamtramck City Council in Michigan has unanimously passed a resolution banning the display of LGBTQ Pride flags on all city properties, citing religious freedom. The resolution also prohibits the display of flags with racist and political views. Hamtramck has the highest percentage of immigrants among cities in Michigan and is the only city in the U.S. with an all-Muslim city council and mayor. The decision has been met with opposition from LGBTQ advocates who argue that it sends a message of discrimination and could push them out of the city.
