MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – There is a fight brewing to replace the pride flag with something more inclusive, but some in the Miami-Dade County LGBTQ community to don’t want it flying at County Hall.

The flag has already gone up in Hollywood and Miami Beach.
Now, the Miami Dade County LGBTQ advisory board is debating whether they should follow.
