A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed against Rep. Susan Davis and three of her Congressional colleagues for displaying the gay pride rainbow flag outside their House offices.
Chris Sevier, a lobbyist who has filed numerous anti-gay lawsuits, filed suit in U.S. District Court in Washington in July against Davis and Reps. Alan Lowenthal, Donald Beyer and Earl Blumenauer.
Sevier argued that homosexuality is a religion and therefore a gay pride flag has no place in a Congressional office. He wanted the flags removed and sought $1 in damages and court costs.
Davis represents central San Diego, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley and parts of El Cajon and Chula Vista and is a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee.
