Montana City Defies State Law, Makes Pride Flag Official

Missoula, Montana, makes a bold statement by declaring the pride flag its official city flag. This decision comes in response to a recent state law limiting the types of flags that can be displayed on government property. The Missoula City Council's resolution directly challenges this law, symbolizing a commitment to inclusivity and LGBTQ+ rights. "The new designation means the pride flag can legally be displayed at public buildings across the state," explains the video's narration. This act of defiance is particularly significant given the political climate in Montana. The council's decision underscores the importance of local governments' ability to uphold their own values, even when facing state-level restrictions. The unwavering display of the pride flag in Missoula sends a powerful message of acceptance and resilience.
