A look at the photo say CA flies other flags. The dark one looks like a MIA flag which doesn't favor one faction over another. The Pride flag seems to me to violate expectations of government neutrality in social issues. Why doesn't CA celebrate the entire "community’s right to live out loud"?
A Pride Flag is flying over California’s Capitol. Gavin Newsom says it’s sending a message (https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article231659213.html)

For the first time in state history, the flag of LGBTQ Pride flies above the California Capitol.
The Rainbow Flag, which sits below the U.S. and California state flags, will fly til July 1.
It’s no coincidence that this historical act — mirroring similar ones in Colorado and Wisconsin – comes amidst a President Donald Trump administration ban on the flying of such flags at U.S. embassies.
“In California, we celebrate and support our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community’s right to live out loud – during Pride month and every month,” Newsom said in a statement Monday. “By flying the Pride flag over the State Capitol, we send a clear message that California is welcoming and inclusive to all, regardless of how you identify or who you love.”
