St Augustine had a similar situation with flags and ran into a 1st Amendment issue where other groups then wanted to put the confederate flag and subsequently other not so politically correct flags were being discussed.
Better check with your city attorney about the exposure and precedents.

Subject: Rainbow flag at your City Hall?
Public art friends, The Santa Cruz Arts Commission and I want to put up a rainbow flag at City Hall and I’m wondering if any of the rest of you have experience with a policy around that. One concern that came up is maybe not having it next to the US flag since we raise and lower that flag at times and putting it somewhere else on the building.
Thanks,
