An Idaho state Republican lawmaker proposed a bill that would fine cities for flying LGBTQ+ flags after the city of Boise declared the flag an official flag as a way to circumvent an existing state law.
State Rep. Ted Hill (R) introduced legislation that would levy fines for government entities that violate a recent state law that banned state and local governments from flying any flags other than domestic government and military flags.
Hill blamed Boise Mayor Lauren McLean for pushing to make the LGBQT+ pride flag an official flag. Reports suggest that the city council voted to add the pride flag and organ donation flag as official flags last May.
“She just made it so. She’s having to do this because she gave a middle finger to the Legislature, pretty much,” Hill remarked. “‘Hey, I’m not going to follow the law, and I’m going to do it the way I want to do it.’”
East Idaho News reported:
Hill’s bill this year would allow Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador to enforce Idaho’s flag restriction law through lawsuits to stop cities from flying certain flags and seeking civil court fines. The bill would fine government entities that violate the flag ban law $2,000 each day, per each offending flag.
Hill’s bill would also amend last year’s flag ban law to allow Idaho government entities to display official flags of Idaho colleges or universities, and the Basque autonomous community flag.
“After the Utah Legislature passed a similar state law last year, the Salt Lake City council voted to adopt versions of new city flags that resemble the LGTBQ+ pride flag, the transgender pride flag and the Juneteenth flag, Utah News Dispatch reported,” East Idaho News noted.

I like this Idaho Bill guy.
Well played.
I think the LGBT movement at an end as we know it.
Unfortunately every dark red state has a blue city. Boise is a blue carbuncle on the ass of Idaho. But maybe with all the California, Oregon and Washington refugees, it might turn around.
But all the conservative refugees seem to be settling in the suburbs outside Boise. My neighborhood is probably 90% conservative. I think there is one lib in our development. Probably works for Micron. I suspect he’s a lib because he has a man-bun. Yuck. Haven’t met him yet. He’s one of the only houses that doesn’t fly an American flag. Maybe I should buy him one.
Freedom of expression-come on.
Winning!
I am repulsed whenever I see that filthy homosexual flag. It represents sodomites packing their fudge.
The Left works to impose forms of economic sanctions on any who will not essentially salute their flag.
I’d vote for it.
“‘Hey, I’m not going to follow the law, and I’m going to do it the way I want to do it.’”
Any questions why you NEVER trust or vote democrat.
Note history and why things are as bad as they are.
