The request to fly the pride flag originated from Dana Van Gorder, executive director of the Spahr Center, a Corte Madera nonprofit serving the LGBTQ community.
“I mean, there’s just there’s just so many variations that could put us as a council in a very awkward position of basically voting on community values.” “Maybe it’s a pro-Palestinian thing, or a pro-Israeli thing,” Candell said at the meeting on May 25. Councilman Scot Candell said he is in favor of flying the pride flag, but passing a policy that would allow the council to determine whether it should fly a particular flag on a city-owned flag pole is a “slippery slope.”
