Residents Fume as Town Proposes Ban on Pride, Black, and Women’s History Celebrations

Conservative members of the Huntington Council are at it again. Not long ago, they passed legislation that banned hoisting pride flags on public buildings. They also sponsored a declaration of Huntington being a “no mask and no vaccine” sanctuary.

Likewise, council members have voted on the review of books allowed in the children’s section of public libraries. The relatively new council members promised to pursue infrastructural and developmental reforms.

However, it’s been one ban after the other. The southern California town recently moved to pass a bill banning some month-long celebrations previously recognized by the town’s council. 

Some of the celebrations coming under the axe are Black History, Pride Month, and Women’s History. In place of those, Huntington Beach will celebrate landmark and generic history. For example, the discovery of oil at Huntington, its surfing, and local railroad history.

Natalie Moser is a liberal council member who has voted against all these conservative policies. In an interview with the Guardian Newspaper, Moser expressed her disappointment with the new council members. According to her, the chain of conservative policies is turning Huntington Beach into a battleground of culture wars.

Though Huntington Beach has always been a city with a majority white and conservative population, it has weathered the storm of discrimination over the years. So far, Southern California has been a travel destination for vacationers, surfers, and outdoors lovers. However, it is fast turning into a city that discriminates against minority groups.

In the latest city policy, the council developed an agenda item that ends every celebration and commemorative celebration for diversity and inclusion. The agenda item consists of a 4-page document presented before the Huntington City Council on December 19.

After suggesting a removal of the earlier-mentioned celebrations, council members proposed a monthly theme of generic milestones to celebrate. 

By implication, celebrations of Black heritage, women’s honors, or LGBTQ+ events will be removed from the public itinerary of the City. Likewise, minority events and celebrations that are privately funded can no longer be observed in public buildings, libraries inclusive.

Moser is not alone in her opposition to the string of dystopian policies raining on the residents of Huntington Beach.

Similarly, Dan Kalmick feels the culture wars will only demarket the city. According to him, the haven the previous liberal city council was trying to create was far from perfect. However, Kalmick does not believe in going to such political extremes to drive home ideological points. 

Huntington Beach city is a conservative town of about 200,000 residents. However, the policies of the new majority council members seem to be a far cry from the expectations of locals. Many of them have cried out against how the city council is on a rampage that majors on the minor.

Most residents are concerned that all the discriminatory policies will not benefit locals in any way. Instead, they will only undergo a gender ideological crisis without any meaningful development. 

Huntington Beach city used to be relatively obscure and peaceful. However, residents think that the new council majority has only succeeded in getting cheap attention. Huntington has made regional and even national headlines, all because some majority council members are trying to force their ideologies down the throats of 200,000 residents.
