A tiny Pride flag, the size of a standard sheet of printer paper, has caused a major flap in a Miami neighborhood.
Bob Plominski and Mike Ferrari, a couple who live in the city's Oakland Park neighborhood, stand to receive an initial fine of $50 from the neighborhood HOA.
Needless to say, they're not happy about it.
Plominski says they've flown the flag before.
"We've done this before and it's a simple showing of our pride to the community, and it's up for 30 days," Plominski explained. "We were in shock they were going to do that."
The citation was spurred by an anonymous complaint.
"I really think the citation is because it's a gay pride flag and someone in the neighborhood is offended," said Ferrari. "Simple as that."
NBC 6 reports that a member of the HOA board claimed the citation was not discrimination, saying they were merely following rules that say only American or military flags can be flown.
"It's going to stay up until June 30th," said Plominski. "We as a community worked really hard to earn and get to where we are today. We're not going to back down on this one."
