GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — June is also known as Pride month, and the City of Green Bay is representing the LBGTQ+ community by flying the Pride flag outside City Hall.

This is the second year in a row the city is flying the Pride flag.

The Pride flag is flying below the American flag.

In February, Mayor Eric Genrich struck down a proposed city flag policy by breaking the Common Council's 6-6 tie.

The proposal was to fly only the American, State, City, and POW/MIA flags on city flagpoles.

Before the proposed policy was struck down, it sparked a series of debates among city council members for months.
