Rally Round

Under the guise of encouraging political neutrality, the states of Utah and Idaho banned all but a handful of flags at schools and government buildings. But everyone knew the main objective was to put the kibosh on Pride flags.

Last week, Salt Lake City and Boise announced a helluva workaround.

Both adopted new city flags. Salt Lake stuck the city's emblem, a sego lily, atop the rainbow flag and the transgender flag. Boise declared the rainbow flag an official city flag.

Making the situation even more touchy is the fact that Salt Lake and Boise are the capital cities of their states. So conservative lawmakers will regularly eyeball these flapping symbols of urban defiance.

Somewhere Betsy Ross is placing monstrously large bets.

I'm just glad it's not orange smoke.
