Free speech for fascists, censorship for rainbows—Utah’s latest legislative masterpiece. Banning Pride flags as “political” while greenlighting swastikas under the paper-thin guise of “curriculum.” Peak intellectual dishonesty from a party allergic to consistency.

Prioritizing Confederate nostalgia over queer survival isn’t governance—it’s state-sanctioned bigotry. When a kid’s suicide risk hinges on your performative flag ban, maybe revisit your moral compass. Spoiler: It’s spinning off its axis.

The Nazi flag isn’t history—it’s hate. Allowing its display “for education” while scrubbing Pride symbols reeks of ideological laundering. Textbook fascism wrapped in patriotic gaslighting.

But hey, at least they’re united in one thing: protecting straight kids from the trauma of… checks notes… fabric rainbows. Priorities!

Prohibiting rainbows gives me a strong "yuck, I'm gonna get cooties from your pink backpack" vibe.

I'd say that moral compass is spinning Right on the Axis...
