They're Back
Gay Flag Gone, Part 2 - "I pledge allegiance..."
The Gay pride and Ukraine flags are no longer front and center at 527 West Jefferson Street. But they have reappeared on the grounds of Metro Hall.
One flies facing the Metro Council building, 601 W. Jefferson, and one is across from the unfortunate Ky Home Life building on Fifth. The interior view below is not from war-torn Ukraine; it’s an inspection by the LMPD of damages inside the Kentucky Home Life building— caused by thieves and squatters.
And, do we all know what the left photo shows?1 Many in our society are more familiar with the Gay pride flag than the US Marine Corps victory at Iwo Jima.
Last week, Fastzone reported that the Gay pride and Ukraine flags were gone, and they were. The flag that was where the Pride flag now is, was photographed from the west side of Metro Hall on May 15th. It is at half-staff, but what does the flag represent? Leave a comment if you know. Looking northeast, we see the pride flag has been re-hoisted. The Ukraine flag is again in view but on the east side of Metro Hall.
If you traveled downtown on Memorial Day to visit the Kentucky Medal of Honor Memorial (shown below), you also saw those flags, in addition to the American and state and local flags that are in front of Metro Hall.
It’s the Mayor’s prerogative to fly the Ukraine and Pride flags at Metro Hall.
US State Representative James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has made every effort to expose the immense fraud engineered by Obama and Biden to garner millions from Ukraine and from Russian oligarchs. Biden’s sweeping pardon of his son, Hunter, in December 2024, covered and buried all the Ukraine ‘misappropriations’. Confused?
The Trump prerogative
On his first day in office, President Trump signed an Executive Order to end radical and wasteful spending for ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’ programs and preferencing throughout the federal government. “Americans deserve a government committed to serving every person with equal dignity and respect…” A first-day executive order of President Biden advanced the opposite goal.
As part of Trump’s new policy, a statement was provided: “The U.S. flag is a powerful symbol of pride and it is fitting and respectful that only the U.S. flag be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestically and abroad… The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy. These values, which are the bedrock of our great country, are shared by all American citizens, past and present.”
This policy has been ignored or debated in numerous blue cities. Many are busy passing legislation to insist their government buildings can fly political and other flags.
The purpose of flying the Gay pride flag at Metro Hall is much the same as that of the Louisville Community Consent Decree. Fastzone will post a more in-depth report on Louisville’s Consent Decree soon.
Louisville Republicans and Democrats, do you agree that our city should specially honor and promote allegiance to Ukraine and LGBTQIA+ people?
If we are to fly non-government flags, should other groups not be included? What about POW/MIA? What about our Louisville sports teams? They sweat and work hard to represent us. Should we not recognize special needs children and their supporters, for their hard work? The list would be long.
It would make sense to limit flags at Metro Hall to those representing our government and all citizens.
Why not make your preference known to the Mayor? Here is his contact information:

Or, if you feel that would be a silly waste of time, the next election for mayor of Louisville is not far off. The filing deadline is January 22, 2026.

The photo shows the iconic 1945 photograph of six Marines raising a U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II, taken by AP combat photographer Joe Rosenthal. It served as the model for the sculptor, Felix de Weldon. The Marine Corps War Memorial is dedicated to the Marine dead of all wars and their comrades of other services who died fighting beside them. The famous sculpture is in Arlington Ridge Park, Arlington County, Virginia. (ref-Wikipedia)
