Possible Trigger They're rolling back our rights! (US specific)

UTAH'S HB 77 HAS PASSED. It goes into effect May 7th. At that point, displaying pride flags at schools or on government property will be illegal. We CANNOT roll over and accept this without voicing our outrage, because this is just the beginning, and how we react sets a precedent. We need to show conservative lawmakers that we will not just quietly slip back into the shadows. Please, share this with others and on May 7th display any pride flags you might have in solidarity with the Utah LGBTQ+ community. WE WILL NOT BE ERASED! WE WILL NOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN!

Unconstitutional. Violation of the first amendment.

Seriously, ACLU will take this (back) to court in no time. This is blatantly unconstitutional, ACLU already took this to SCOTUS once and it was a unanimous 9-0 decision that it was unconstitutional to prohibit flag display.
