O/T: When the HOA prohibits you from flying a rainbow flag, do something more fabulous !!

Due to some neighbors flying BLM flags, Thin blue line flags, and other opinion flags, our HOA decided last month that were only allowed to fly the USA flag, and nothing else. They day after the decision, we receive an email that someone reported our Pride flag (that we had in our house since 2016), and that we needed to take it down. We complied and removed the flag. Looking through our new rules, we noticed that removable lights are permitted without restriction so... we bought 6 colored flood lights, and we washed our house in pride colors. A little less subtle than our simple flag. A lot more fun for anyone complaining about the flag itself and what it represents. If youre interested, heres the house now: https://imgur.com/gallery/SHSv6rd

I'm not sure what kind of "governing authority" controls this neighbourhood near (ish) to my house.

An HOA is a ToS agreement. If you don't like the terms, change them or don't move in. Just like DU.
