Summary
Roseville is saying no to flying the Pride flag on city buildings, and that choice is kicking off a fight over which symbols get to appear on public property. At the center is a familiar question: does a government building represent everyone, or only some residents? The policy itself is narrow, but the signal it sends is not.
