“I like to think of those elements as in every person, everyone shares that”
This is just pathetic Utah officials showing how far they are willing to go to be the Orange glob’s new favorite. Nothing good will come of this. Classrooms will not become “more neutral”.
Gay people exist in every culture and century and religion and family in the world. Unlike racial minorities, gay people cannot be exterminated. No matter how much oppression there is, they will keep sprouting up everywhere like beautiful flowers.
First of all, how can the ban be legal? But regardless, the damage is done & hopefully Until will feel the pain of their actions.
No respectable human should want to set foot in that state.
Ban pride flags, fluoride, and unions. Sounds like they just want to destroy everyone and dehumanize everyone and strip everyone of their dignity. Great state.
I've heard that the story that Sundance left Park City because it had outgrown the town is really cover for Utah becoming such a reich-wing hellhole that they had no choice.
Those damn flags .. I mean when was the last time you were assaulted by a rainbow flag, or deported by one.. raped by one, fired by one, bullied by one … those flags are dangerous!
The history of LGBTQ+ people in society is actually fascinating. Many cultures embraced and just naturally made space in their community just as we all should without thought m. Cultures have been embracing trans for centuries btw. Don’t buy into the latest hate flavor- Educate yourself instead!
All pride celebrations this year and every year need to revert to protests with signs and banners held by marching people. Every city that has had a pride celebration needs people to organize these events as protests. No need for sponsorships. Resist like it is 1968!
This isn’t surprising coming from a state that’s run and controlled by the Morman church. They don’t like anyone that their brainwashing doesn’t work on.
No you are wrong. Maybe you're even blatantly lying. There is a list of flags that are approved, and a list that are not approved. Meaning some groups and their symbols have equal protection, and others do not. So you're just objectively wrong.
I see. I only find reporting like this: "The measure allows only flags explicitly exempt from the ban ... to be displayed. Other flags, such as the pride flag and those supporting political causes, will be barred".
I’m gonna make plans to get a Pride tattoo in the very near future. I will be the man I needed to see as a closeted kid. Your work and dedication to a great myriad of causes is so appreciated. Thank you.
Sounds like some colorful protests should be in the works. All those buildings are surrounded by public streets. Might as well fill those spaces with 🏳️🌈❤️
That’s awesome you we at both rallies! I need to connect with more of the local crew here in SLC for other events. Are you going to the capital on 4/5?

They're uber authoritarian and have always been down with nazis. The mormon prophet met with Hitler back in the day to discuss how they could help facilitate his takeover of the US. They recently did the same with the new regime. Sicko sex cult.

love and respect you.

Okay how does that work vis-à-vis the First Amendment? Surely they can't stop employees or, say, school students from having things with pride flags/colors on them.
Weird, because Salt Lake City has the seventh-highest percentage of adults who identify as LGBT among the nation's top 50 metropolitan areas. Gallup survey data shows 4.7 percent of adults in Utah's capital city consider themselves LGBT (Deseret News).
we have been effectively gerrymandered- it's very difficult to vote them out - and while SLC is really a big blue dot (as is moab and park city), the rest is quite red
Nope! Cant erase! Cant pray it away either!! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 I love my Pride Progress flag flyin’ at my house (and we ain’t even gay)! But if they come for them, they’ll come for all. Stand up and protect your brothers ‘n sisters y’all!!
"politically neutral"? A pride flag makes some feel " less welcome"? If a flag that represents progress and inclusion makes you feel uncomfortable you need to ask yourself why?
Darn. Some of my favorite holiday destinations are in Utah. I always visited with the idea that while our ideology differed, we could peacefully coexist. They don't want to peacefully coexist. Though disappointed, I'll find other hiking spots.
I have hiked Zion and skied in Park City. I think this world is so beautiful,but my little protests include not spending my money at companies that give large donations to Trump.
The first Mormon I ever knew was Blair, a jack Mormon rejected by his family because he was gay. He was a wonderful, funny man and died of AIDS and neglect in the 1980s.
It’s scary how quick the conservatives forget about rights when trying to punish speech they disagree with. Flags and representation through flags are 1st amendment protected.
They are trying to erase and make invisible anyone that they decide should not have the same rights and freedoms that they want to enjoy. Sound familiar? https://youtu.be/I6eIox2vOiA
For what’s worth Utah also unveiled the biggest trans 🏳️⚧️ pride flag at the state capitol on Saturday. Not to minimize the significance of what the state is doing, I do see a many more pride flags 🏳️🌈 in SLC in last 6 months. The Sugarhouse neighborhood has lots of flags showing their support.
I'm stuck living in Montana. I have family in California and have to go through SLC to get there so I'm going to be wearing pride flag t-shirts on the plane from now on.
we know all too well. and frankly some of us support them in leaving. My trans daugher in law had a short film at sundance this year. she loves utah but no longer feels welcome. (except of course in our home).
I do not get it at all, know how often the average person thinks about gay or trans people? Almost never unless prompted because there's other shit going on in the world. Just let them be gay.

But seriously what a buncha weirdos, trying to roll back civil rights and target LGBTQIA+ folks!!! What is wrong with them?!
Backwards people, backwards ideals, backwards morals.
😭😂😭😂😭😂🎯🎯🎯

I call that cowardice.
Cox has received your mesage and did fuck all. That's how much he cares about basic human decency... but he did make an exception... to the Nazi flag.
Jesus is ashamed of this crap.
#trump is shit
My friends who are LGBTQ will ALWAYS be celebrated and protected. And the rest, whom I do not know....they will be, too!!!
Where can I go for better info?
We are here always have always will be!!!!!
That flag doesnt represent a hate group. It represents acceptance.

Furthermore, the curse of Ham is hogwash as well.
A: One’s taken with a grain of sugar, the other with a grain of salt.
Seems the last few years right wing haters have tried to ban everything 😕
#LoveIsLove
It gets Shakespearean.
Utah... Full of hate, extra spouses, highest porn consumption in the nation, and soon to need the most dental care.
These frauds are criminals.
Ban religion, it's a cult!
It's not the GOP F'n up social security, grandma's meals on wheels, cancer research... and so on
It’s really not very American for a state to ban a flag. You matter.
Fuck these assholes.
