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.

The cities approved several new flags after Utah and Idaho passed laws barring unofficial flags from being displayed on government property.

The Salt Lake City Council has adopted three new Pride flags to circumvent Utah ’s ban on flying such flags at public schools, universities and government buildings. Council members approved the measure via ordinance during a formal meeting on Tuesday.
