Scranton PA Sued Over City Hall Pride Flag Display

The Scranton Times-Tribune reports:

Bob Bolus refiled a lawsuit to get the pride flag, which is a symbol of support for LGBTQ+ people and inclusivity, removed from Scranton City Hall and barred from display at all government buildings in Lackawanna County.

The city has been flying a rainbow-motif pride flag on a flagpole at the municipal building at 340 N. Washington Ave. since June 1 for the annual commemoration of Pride Month.

Bolus initially filed a lawsuit June 6 in Lackawanna County Court on a pro-se basis, meaning representing himself without an attorney, in a legal attempt to compel the removal of the pride flag from City Hall, as well as having it barred from display there and at all government buildings in the county.

Bolus last appeared here in February 2022 when he led a call for a “justice for Ashli Babbitt” trucker blockade of Washington DC. Obviously, the blockade never happened.

In 2019, Bolus was barred from running for mayor of Scranton due to his prior felony convictions for receiving stolen property and tampering with evidence.

Bolus appealed that ruling, claiming that even if he couldn’t hold the office of mayor, he should still be allowed to be listed on the ballot.
