Boise Idaho Removes Pride Flag, State Law Blamed

0:00Boise Idaho just pulled down its pride flag from city property. This comes straight from a state law passed in 2025 that bans most flags on government buildings. Lawmakers made it clear during debates they had Boise's display in their sites. They wanted to limit what flies on public polls to keep things official and neutral. Folks in the legislature have pushed for this kind of change since the law hit the books. Now the city complied to avoid any legal headaches. No word yet on other cities following suit, but the rule applies statewide to local governments too. Expect more flags to come down if they don't fit the narrow exceptions. That's the update from Idaho, where politics is literally reshaping the skyline and one poll at a time. You've been listening to Vancouver News today, AI-powered local news.
