Boise officials use rainbow wraps to display LGBTQ+ colors after Idaho's pride flag ban

Boise officials circumvented Idaho's pride flag ban by wrapping flagpoles in LGBTQ+ colors, asserting these are not flags. The city council president stated the wraps are compliant with the law, which targets flags, not rainbow colors. The display cost approximately $6,000. This action follows similar bans in other states, with reactions on social media being mixed. Idaho's ban was part of a broader trend of state-level restrictions on LGBTQ+ symbols.
