Project Rainbow Utah Distributes 1,701 Transgender Flags With More Than 100 Volunteers, a Record High
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Project Rainbow Utah distributed 1,701 transgender flags this year to Utah residents in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah, and across the state who requested one, with more than 100 volunteers taking part — a record high, the organization reported on November 9.
This year's total is up from 1,558 last year and far above 493 in 2022, with 899 distributed in 2023 and 1,118 in 2024, a steady annual climb, and donor support also hit an all-time high. The distribution took place ahead of Transgender Awareness Week, which begins November 13, and the flags will be displayed at applicants' homes in support of the transgender community.
The effort comes as Utah has enacted legislation limiting gender-affirming care for some groups and restroom access, and banning the transgender flag on public school and government property, making private-home displays a prominent way for supporters to show solidarity.
