The Missoula City Council in Montana voted to designate the LGBTQ Pride flag as an official city flag. This move effectively circumvents a state law that prohibits political flags on government property by granting the Pride flag official city status. The decision has drawn attention amid ongoing debates over the display of political symbols in public spaces. In response, Montana Senator Steve Daines emphasized that Montanans expressed opposition to such measures in the November elections, highlighting support for the Montana state flag and the American flag as unifying symbols. The Pride flag was also raised in Riverfront Park in Troy, New York, reflecting broader regional actions to recognize LGBTQ symbols publicly.

Montanans made it clear in Nov they were sick of this woke nonsense when we overwhelmingly elected @realdonaldtrump. The vast majority agree- the MT flag & the American flag are what brings us together. 🇺🇸
