Boise City Council Adopts LGBT and Organ Donor Flags as Official City Flags

By • May 7, 2025

The Boise City Council voted 5 to 1 last night to adopt the LGBT flag, the white organ donor flag, and the actual city flag as “official” city flags.

What’s Happening: After over a month of back and forth over House Bill 96, which went into effect when it was signed by Governor Brad Little last month, the debate may be over for now.

Law enforcement officials and Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador cited the legislation’s lack of an enforcement mechanism. However, Labrador told McLean to follow the law and said the legislature could withhold sales tax revenue from the city.

McLean said she will challenge the legality of HB 96. In the meantime, the city proposed adopting three flags as official city flags. According to HB 96, official city flags are allowed to be flown over government property, making last night’s move a likely workaround to complying with it.

Digging Deeper: With the city adopting the flags, including the LGBT flag, the legislature cannot just add a penalty to the law they passed earlier this year, if part of the intent is to prevent the LGBT flag from flying over Idaho’s capitol city.

The legislature will now likely have to rewrite the bill to include what types of flags can constitute a city flag, or the workarounds will continue.

  1. The republican-led legislature engaged in symbolic, toothless, baby play and this is what we get. What exactly does Raul Labrador expect to happen ?

  2. This is great. GOP is all about “local control” except when it comes to Boise.

    Shelly, the lone no vote was cast by Willits. Guessing she’ll be at OSS’s festival in late June.

  3. We all knew how this was going to go even before the meeting had started. With 5 of the 6 city council members and the mayor all Democrats it was pre-ordained.

  4. This is ridiculous. Where are we…in San Francisco? I bet there isn’t even a city hall in California adopting the LBGT flag. I left there for these reasons. It makes me sick to see this same leftist agenda being pushed here. The majority of your constituents don’t want this, don’t you care about them?
    Be careful or Boise will be bankrupt and have out of control taxes like California. Our rent prices are all ready the same, through the roof.

    1. You know, of course, that rental and housing prices are “through the roof” because of California carpet-baggers like you, right ?

  5. I can’t think of a more divisive thing to do. It doesn’t represent the citizens of Boise equally. Shall we put up a flag for every type of identity? Why not just stick with the original Boise flag, the Idaho State flag and the USA flag?

  6. The true remedy here is to recall the mayor and vote out everyone who participated in this debacle.

    What this really is is a symbol to decent people in Idaho that the left is invading and we are losing not only our nation but our state.

  7. Where is the flag representing the natural family? This mayor is beyond wicked and fully supported Biden and Harris!

    The white stripes on our American flag represents purity and innocence. Everyone needs to remember this.

    TWITTER: A six-year-old girl was molested in a public school & she is the bad, tiny child, & her family for complaining. “The little girl was coerced into performing sex acts on little boys under a desk in the presence of a teacher.” https://youtube.com/watch?v=3kqUhyMRrsI…

    In Toronto, Canada, men can reveal full frontal exposure, exposing themselves in complete glee, in the most vile ways, to adults and children and it is perfectly legal in these gay parades. Satanic wickedness keeps growing! And everyone knows they use bright rainbow colors to attract children to themselves to feed their filthy minds in hopes of making child rape legal. The ACLU, an arm of the Democrat Party, works diligently to make child rape legal and to get pedophiles quickly released.

    Horrific! No privacy rights for women in Texas, just prosecution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUDzTSRRnVc If you listen to the end you find out this man is a predator of girls and women.

    Biden administration ensured that every type of sexual porn is available to children of all ages in schools. Parents and other conservatives now have no power to withdraw them: https://thefederalist.com/2023/05/31/biden-education-bureaucrats-overrule-georgia-parents-to-protect-porn-in-schools/ Of course, libs want parents arrested who do no approve. Biden’s proposed changes to Title IX for education will legalize every vile thing in the schools. And those who object can be prosecuted.

    “The Biden-Harris former nuclear official, Sam Brinton, has been involved in LGBTQ+ activism,” and promotes his sex with dogs and other animals, as well as with men, has his own homo/animal pornography, and is a drag queen. And this man lectures at American colleges promoting every vile thing with graphic depictions for students. Does the news media or the libs care? Of course, not! They express no concern about the boy who dressed in a skirt and sodomized a girl in a public school bathroom, and also sexually abused another student at another school where the educational board enrolled him. No surprise, Obama uplifts this boy who requires the death penalty.

    Biden rejoiced in a transgender dancing topless at the white house in the name of the gay agenda. Because of the uproar, he later stated, he banned the transgender from the White House. He partied with these most vile people who slap God and His holy righteousness in the face. He put the gay flag center and the American flags to the side. His new armed forces artwork promo is saluting the pride flag. This tells Americans that Homosexuality is now the god of America and everyone must salute. He told indoctrinated children at the White House that he loves and stands with gay children. The entire speech was unbelievably wicked. He certainly wants all children engaged in the homosexual activities with pedophiles. Joe Biden’s daughter stated in her diary that she had to take late night showers to keep her father from molesting her in the shower.

    Jesus Christ the thrill of hope for a sick, hurting, and weary world—Romans 10:9-10 from the Bible: “That if you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.” To learn of God’s personal love for you, please click here: https://vallee7.wordpress.com/category/paradise/

  8. Boycott Boise! Has a certain ring to it. Time for us to show these freaks what we think of their wokeness.

  9. Typical politicians I seen them bragging about this great new law they worked so hard to pass.
    What a complete waste of taxpayers money.
    Majority of the people have never even remotely cared about your sexual preference until you started this type of BS.
    You don’t hear straight people talking about what type of sex they like do you or trying to push there type of sex on you.
