The city of Huntington said it would only be flying the American, state and city flags at city hall in June, breaking from a tradition of flying the Pride flag during the month. Eyewitness News reported City Councilwoman Ally Layman – the first council member to publicly identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community – is encouraging residents to put up their own Pride flags if they want, to celebrate the month. Huntington has routinely received a perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign for its efforts to create an LGTBQ+ inclusive community over the last several years. It was also the first city in West Virginia to achieve the perfect score in 2018.
