Utah becomes the first state in the nation to ban pride flags from government buildings and schools after Gov. Cox refuses to take action on the bill.

In a move that sets a national precedent, Utah has become the first state to ban the display of LGBTQ+ pride flags at schools and government buildings. Governor Spencer Cox allowed the controversial ban on unsanctioned flags to become law without his signature late Thursday night, paving the way for its implementation on May 7.
