Jimmy Hallyburton was one of five councilmembers to vote 'yes' on the Pride Flag resolution at Boise City Hall Tuesday night.

The Boise City Council made the Pride flag a city flag Tuesday to get around a new state law. The Legislature earlier this year banned most flags from flying on government property, but left an exception for “the official flag of a governmental entity.

On Tuesday night, the Boise City Council voted 5 to 1 to adopt the LGBTQ+ flag as one of three official city flags. Both supporters and opponents showed up at City Hall.
