Pennsylvania Lt Gov flies weed and LGBT flags at state Capitol in defiance of GOP's order

Pennsylvania’s Democratic Lt. Gov. says he plans to continue defying an order from the state’s GOP-controlled legislature banning unauthorized flags on federal grounds.

Pro-marijuana legalization and pride flags were removed from John Fetterman‘s office balcony this week, but he quickly replaced them, The Hill reports. The legislature in November included in its budget legislation a provision banning the display of non-approved flags.

Fetterman has said that he has no intention of removing the flags until lawmakers legalize marijuana for recreational use or make discrimination against someone based on their sexual orientation or gender identity illegal.

As much as I see posts on DU about "populists" and usually pointing to Republicans like Teddy Roosevelt, this guy is a true Democratic "populist"!

So, they took them back down again. I’d *much* rather have Pennsylvania go national *for* enacting LGBTQIA+
🏳️?🌈
protections and legalizing weed instead of this.
A Penn. Democrat hung weed and LGBTQ rights flags on the Capitol. The GOP outlawed them.
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman says he'll keep flying his marijuana and LGBTQ flags in defiance of a new law.
