From the Daily Mail:
Jeffrey Little, a veteran captain for the LA County Fire Department's Lifeguard Division, filed a lawsuit against the county in 2024 after he said he would not hang Progress Pride flags while on duty.
What is the "Progress Pride" flag? I'm glad you asked. OK, you probably didn't, but I learned about it, so you have to now, too.
The Progress Pride flag differs from the rainbow Pride flag because it includes other colors that represent more groups, including people of color, as well as the transgender and intersex communities.
It's a Pride flag that's even more Pride flag than the regular Pride flag.
In 2023, LA County instituted a policy that required the flag to be displayed at all government facilities. Little, fearing God, refused to comply.
The devout Christian argued that the new policy went against his religious beliefs about sexuality and marriage, and that he could not raise it himself or make sure that his subordinates do so, the lawsuit detailed.
At first, the county accepted his request for a religious exemption, but changed their minds two days later, the filing stated.
Little was subsequently suspended for 15 days without pay, leading to him filing a lawsuit in 2024, with the Thomas More Society taking on his case. In 2025, the case survived a motion to dismiss from LA County.
In May 2026, a federal judge named Josephine L. Staton issued a sealed mixed ruling that allows Little's core claims to advance toward trial. In essence, this means two courts have now ruled that Little's lawsuit holds water.
The goal of the case is not for the county to get rid of its Pride flag policy, but to allow religious accommodation exempting Little from personally raising the flag or telling others to do so, the Thomas More Society said in a statement.
A trial date has yet to be set.
Stay tuned.
