Salt Lake City adopts 3 new flags to bypass new state flag law

Leaders of Utah's capital city voted to add three new city flags, all incorporating designs not allowed through a new state flag law, to sidestep the measure hours before it goes into law. Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall unveiled three new city flag designs to members of the Salt Lake City Council Tuesday evening, as she explained how the city plans to move forward in the wake of HB77 on the eve of the bill becoming law. The new flags would add the sego lily logo from Salt Lake City's city flag to the Juneteenth, Progress Pride and transgender flags. All three flags were not included in the list of flags approved to be flown outside of government or in schools. The new flags would not replace the city's primary flag, which was adopted in 2020.

Check out the Salt Lake City TV station talking heads. Demographics would be appropriate for DC, Atlanta, Chicago.....

Transgenders have a flag?

[dangus]

Well, then their incompetence at picking elected leaders to represent them is just about stuck at 80s Dixie levels. Because holy moley, they just keep flocking from one RINO to the next!!!!

The ONLY "Juneteenth" celebration should be the June 19 anniversary of executing 2 Communist traitors...

Let's not forget that June 19th is also National Martini Day.

Mormons gone gay?

I’ll drink to that!

Salt Lake City is to Utah as Austin is to Texas.

[Max in Utah]

Salt Lake City is the Portland of Utah.

Utah has not been a “Mormon” state for *decades*.

The place has been overrun with Califlowers, foreign gangbangers and just plain huts.

I owned property in rural Ut, but sold it two years ago - Big Ag had imported huge masses of illegals and the drugs, crime and general Third-world behavior that comes with. This on top of the Califlowers that had invaded prior to that.

There is nothing particular about the Mormon faith which makes them immune to the ravages of Satan against God’s church

There is one thing, and that is their intense focus on family and community. The goal of every devout Mormon is to get married young and have a bunch of kids. The nuclear family is probably one of the best bulwarks against leftism there is.

However, there are different sects of Mormonism, and some of them go off the rails into cultish territory sometimes. That leaves the door open for all kinds of negative effects.

Verily, I perceive with utmost clarity the deed which thou hast performed there ...

Et tu, Utah?

Salt Lake City has been overrun by out-of-state non-Mormons. There is a huge air base in the area which brings in all kinds of people from around the country, and it has just become a big city in general, with all of the same pathologies. I went through Salt Lake City the first time in 2003 or so, and it was just a small town. The last time I went through, in about 2021, it was a sprawling metropolis.

Swing by Park City UT of you want to see growth. The people who wanted to develop The Yellowstone wee right... it was once a ghost town, That’s when United Park City Mines (UPCM) executives started exploring how “they could make money on top of the ground as well as under the ground,” Fletcher said. The town’s snowy mountain landscape pointed the company in one clear direction: building a ski resort.

I spent several months recently in St George. THAT place is exploding right now, probably with refugees from So Cal, unfortunately.

I still remember a great mushroom restaurant there. Wasn’t there the next time I passed through.

I am Mormon, though I am more conservative than the church leadership and as I say to my friends when they ask why I am no longer fully active, “I didn’t leave the church, the church left me.” Up until the Plandemic, I was all in. I was actually serving as the president of our local primary when it all started. I refused to mask when they told us we had to in order to be in church and when they told us from the pulpit we needed to get the jab, I was out. When the church went all in on masking, vaccines and shut down our church buildings because they bowed to Caesar, I had to take a break. I go intermittently now, don’t hold a calling and am waiting to see what happens with the church going forward. BYU is all in on the LGBT push, the church has lost its way in so many ways. My daughter graduated from BYU-I and it was more conservative at that time, just a few short six years ago. Now it is all a crazy mess, it is unrecognizable to the church that I was so devoted to for so many years.
I know there are many anti-Mormons who are freepers, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I will say this, and if you come at me with Mormon bashing, just know I won’t even read it so you are wasting your time. I still believe the Book of Mormon is sacred text, and I still believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet. The church today, however, is unrecognizable to the values that we were taught to live by. I think there has been a lot of “untruths” that we members have been told about the church in these latter days by church leadership. I won’t go into all of it but I believe a day of reckoning is coming.

There were plenty of them in the 'early' days as well.
