A growing legal and political controversy is unfolding in Boise, Idaho, after Mayor Lauren McLean chose to fly the Lgbtq+ Pride Flag at City Hall, despite the recent passage of House Bill 96 (HB 96), which restricts the display of unauthorized flags on government property.
My family will never spend another dime in Boise. No more football games, concerts, hotels, eateries, anything. Enjoy your gay way. And if you’re in N.Idaho expect to be treated like the CA transplants that you are.
What I meant to say is that every city should fly the city flag and the state flag and nothing else. Why they choose to fly and have other exceptions of other people only invites the LGBTQ to be justified in flying their flag. City flag and state flag. Nothing else or you’re asking for trouble I can’t believe nobody’s even saying this.
This is clearly a political agenda and not anything about inclusion. Everybody knows that even though that fought to put it up.
The sad part now in clear violation of the law has the 80 county sheriff, overly stating that there is no teeth to this law. The first oversight of this pathetic sheriffs answer is who would violate the law in the first place and any law that should be created should always have a consequence . I don’t know anybody that willingly acts, unlawfully and thinking somehow there is no consequence. Their answer is that there’s no teeth. I would challenge anyone to look at all statutes of Idaho and look for everything that has no teeth and scrap it. I have openly encouraged people to act lawless, or at least stated the fact that this was an open invitation if the government violates its public trust, this is a license for now Citizen read to become unruly in the face of the mayor.
What is sad is the fact that the City Hall representation should fly the city flag. I know that I might catch some scrutiny for this, but I don’t believe any other flag should fly, including the POWMIA flag because it isolate a certain class of people. The capitals of every city in this country represent the state flag. Any other flag should be unofficial. This should’ve been made more clear and I’m sad that it hasn’t but apparently conservatives still like to play favorites.

More nonsense from the butt hurt liberals. Childish behavior is their MO. There is no reasoning with children, they should be punished, and have privileges taken away. It has been a know fact, easy to observe, that liberal females are the worst.
Idaho needs to ban all muslims from residing with in our borders. Islam is a growing cancer in America and if left unchecked we will end up like Europe. But all leadership in America is/are cowards when it comes to dealing with muslims, to include Idaho. Why? Because no one studies history and history, and true world history is not taught in government run schools.
Why can't the Attorney General Labrador file an injunction relief in the court system so that the court can force the mayor to remove the flag?
I would imagine he is looking into his options.

The mayor putting up an illegal flag is no different than painting graffiti on public property...and should be prosecuted under the graffiti law
Better question... why don't the people of Boise vote these people out of office? I think we know why, they like these policies. Keep that in mind.
Well stated, IFC! Thank you 🙏

More peaceful protest ideas…

If the Legislature simply put enforcement rules on this "law" then maybe it would be worth the time it took to create this issue.
Government officials can pick and choose which laws to follow?! They are in office to uphold the law not their toxic identity politics.
sexual identity politics promoted on a govt flag pole is against the law, Ms Mayor. You are NOT ABOVE THE LAW!! Remove all unauthorized flags.
Thanks for the great article.
If it were up to us, we would narrow Idaho's flag bill considerably:
1️⃣ Business and private organizations can fly whatever flags they like.
2️⃣ Government entities, including schools:
Outdoor displays:
🚩 US Flag
🚩 Idaho State Flag (requires at least 2/3 majority voter approval to change)
🚩 ONE city flag (city flag requires at least majority - 2/3 voter approval to change)
Indoor displays:
🚩 As above plus official country flags and other official US state flags.
Possible exception:
🚩 Official and specialty flags could appear in special educational exhibit rooms.
3️⃣ Penalties: Daily fines, loss of tax revenue, civil penalties.
Where is the hetero sexual pride month flag. Or month?
