City leaders in Boise and Salt Lake City found a workaround to recent state laws that effectively banned pride flags from government property.

Utah's capital of Salt Lake City created new flag designs while Boise, the capital of Idaho, made the traditional pride flag one of its official city flags. The move in Utah came hours before a ban on unsanctioned flag displays took effect Wednesday.

Salt Lake City's mayor has proposed three new city flags to circumvent a recent Utah law that effectively banned the flying of LGBTQ pride and other identity flags at all public buildings in the state.
