Yeah but we’re burying the lede here:

However deputy mayor Ashley Orwin, who is gay, said the complaint and the flag's removal had supercharged support for the town's first Pride event, which is taking place in June next year.

So really, the Streisand effect has teeth, and it’s beautiful to see.

Great to see, and hopefully we will be out in numbers.

The impression I get with Matlock is that they should be down with LGBTQ+ rights, it’s great to see that they actually are.
