In a significant protest against Utah's recent legislation banning LGBTQ+ Pride flags from schools and government buildings, thousands gathered in Salt Lake City for Trans Day of Visibility. Activists, led by the Utah Pride Center, unfurled a large trans flag in front of the State Capitol to express solidarity with the trans community. Governor Spencer Cox, who approved the controversial law, expressed disappointment with its implications, stating that schools should remain apolitical. The law will impose substantial fines on institutions that display unauthorized flags, further polarizing discussions surrounding LGBTQ+ rights in Utah.
"Even though our governments may not be able to fly Pride flags or trans flags, we can," said Chad Call, Utah Pride Center's executive director.
"I deeply believe that our classrooms need to be a place where everyone feels welcome - free from the politics that are fracturing our country," said Governor Cox.
