Far-right council members in Huntington Beach introduce agenda item to switch focus to US wars and America’s independence

The southern California city of Huntington Beach, a bastion of conservative voters, has made the move to block diverse monthlong celebrations of Black history, women’s history and Pride, in favor of observing the revolutionary and civil wars, California’s history and America’s independence.

An agenda item introduced on 19 December forbids any programming that pertains to previously established honorary celebrations for women, people of color and LGBTQ+ groups from taking place on city-owned property, including libraries, or of being featured in city communications such as social media posts, according to Natalie Moser, a city council member who voted against the action.

      As soon as I saw the headline I already knew it was Huntington Beach. Every few years they try to do some dumb shit like this.

        For fucking real, douchebros in board shorts as well as grizzled clowns whose entire personality is their no-pipes motorcycle, invading the bars and itching for fights with people from Santa Ana/Garden Grove (as long as there’s more than one douche for backup).

        You heard me, HB clowns. Fuck you, I hope you step on a shard of flint, hard.
