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 has adopted three new flags in an attempt to skirt around the state’s ban on flying the LGBTQ+ flag and others at public state buildings.

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