In a move reflecting ongoing tensions surrounding state laws, both Salt Lake City and Boise have officially adopted Pride flags as part of their municipal identity. Salt Lake City has circumvented a state ban on Pride flags by introducing three new flags, including those representing Pride and Juneteenth, which the city council unanimously approved. Similarly, Boise City Council voted to recognize the Pride flag as an official city flag, with a resolution passing amid strong community support and public demonstrations. These actions come as lawmakers seek to restrict the display of Pride flags, igniting a spirited debate over free speech and local governance in the face of state legislation.
