For Eric Batman, the walk into work became the centre of a legal battle over religion, workplace rights and a Pride flag.

The Christian employee of the Los Angeles Department of Public Works claims he was forced to pass a Progress Pride flag outside his workplace during Pride Month despite asking to work remotely, and he is now suing Los Angeles County, arguing that the arrangement conflicted with his religious beliefs.
