Impact analysis
Probably no big budget line, but expect town staff time and public trust to take a hit as the fight continues.
People who oppose town-issued Pride proclamations, especially seminary-aligned advocates, get a win if the mayor backs down.
LGBTQ+ residents and allies feel singled out and less represented, and the mayor catches heat for appearing to cave to outside pressure.
