Controversy Over Flag Displays in Democrat-Run Cities in Utah and Idaho

Democrat-run cities in Utah and Idaho are adopting LGBTQ+ and left-wing flags as official city banners to circumvent state laws restricting flag displays on government property. Salt Lake City adopted four flags, including the Progress Pride flag, Transgender Pride flag, and Juneteenth flag, to represent city values and honor diverse residents. Utah's flag law recently went into effect, with violators facing a $500 fine per day. Boise, Idaho, also designated the pride flag as an official city flag in defiance of state law.
