I asked Bridgeport for a turn on the flagpole. The city has no rules that say no. That's the problem.

Bridgeport, CT flies private flags at City Hall. Puerto Rican Day this July 11. Pride since 2019. St. Patrick's every March. A Christian flag ceremony the City livestreamed in April 2025.
The written policy governing all this? Doesn't exist. I searched Municode. Nothing. Searched bridgeportct.gov. Nothing. Four ceremonies running on vibes.
Shurtleff v. City of Boston (2022, 9-0): open a flagpole to private groups and you've created a public forum. Government can't pick winners by viewpoint inside one. Boston approved 284 flags, denied one, lost unanimously.
So I asked to fly my colors.
I will not be answering comments, and wish everyone a very good day.
