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.

On Tuesday night, the Boise City Council voted 5 to 1 to adopt the LGBTQ+ flag as one of three official city flags. Both supporters and opponents showed up at City Hall.

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