Boise City Hall unveiled vinyl wraps featuring Progress Pride flag colors after Idaho's governor signed a law prohibiting the Pride flag. Mayor Lauren McLean ordered the Pride flag lowered, marking a significant change after over a decade. The new law, supported by Republicans, aimed to restrict non-official flags. On the same day, McLean proclaimed March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility, emphasizing community support for vulnerable individuals. The city also displayed a sign stating, 'Creating a city for everyone,' alongside the new wraps.
""Many people in this state and around this country are seeking to divide us. They're seeking to divide us by targeting the most vulnerable among us. I want the people in this room to know that I see you. We see you. You are wanted, important, and unique members of our community.""
""Creating a city for everyone" was prominently displayed on a sign at City Hall, symbolizing Boise's commitment to inclusivity despite legislative challenges."
