The Democratic controlled cities of Salt Lake City and Boise adopted new city flags this week showing support for LGBTQ+ people in defiance of their states’ Republican-controlled Legislatures, which have banned traditional rainbow pride flags at schools and government buildings.

Salt Lake City and Boise have adopted new official flags following a ban of non-sanctioned flags in Utah and Idaho.

Boise and Salt Lake City have both adopted the Pride flag – or a slight variation of it – as official symbols as of Tuesday night, effectively circumventing state law.
