After delay and petition, Rye to fly LGBT pride flag on city property

The topic dates back a year ago, Goddard said, when the council opted not to fly a pride flag. 
"There's no doubt that this is a community-wide appeal, a very passionate one," Goddard said. "And it's clear we have each other's backs in this town."
The New York Civil Liberties Union sent the city a letter Wednesday advising Rye officials they would not open themselves to litigation and urged them to fly the pride flag. 
"As long as the City keeps and has kept control of what flags it wishes to fly, what is flown on the flagpole is the 'speech' of the City of Rye," wrote Lucia Hermo, Hudson Valley chapter deputy director, and Beth Haroules, senior staff attorney.
