Huntington Beach City Council Proposes Replacement of Pride, Black History, and Women's History Months

The controversial decision, passed by conservative members, will replace these commemorations with a calendar dedicated to U.S. and local history.

Huntington Beach City Council in California has proposed a new calendar that would replace commemorations of Pride Month, Black History Month, and Women's History Month with a month-by-month calendar dedicated to the history of the United States and Huntington Beach.
The proposal passed along party lines, with the council’s conservative members voting for the change while liberal members voted it down.
The city will implement an alternative for monthly celebrations that will be developed by a panel of appointed members, including 'Black Gold Jubilee – Honoring the Discovery of Oil.'
The decision was made without consulting with the city’s Historic Resources Board, which oversees such celebrations, leading to the resignation of the chair, Kathie Schey.
This is the latest in a series of controversial decisions by the council, including banning the LGBTQ Pride flag, disbanding the city’s Human Relations committee, and trying to restrict certain library books for children.
