Councilor Apologizes for Social Media Misstep | Leicester News

Councilor Michael Squires faces backlash after a social media post questioning an employee’s lanyard colors tied to the transgender flag, sparking two formal complaints over staff morale and public image. Squires apologized, saying he removed the post immediately and admitted he was still learning social media norms as a new official. He insists his intent was to uphold taxpayer-funded neutrality — a principle he says most agree on — and clarifies he never meant to target the individual.
