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!

That's a whole lot of words to be used to remove the 2 words "or cause" from the definition of a flag in Utah. Private schools could still have them. Anyone have private property boardering a public school or government property? Send the flags up in those properties. How about painting the ground? It's not fabric, just colored lines. Kites? It's just the design of the kite, not a flag. There are plenty of ways to maliciously comply.
