Utah is one step closer to flying a new state flag — one that would better represent the state’s historic tribal nations, a Utah state senator says.

A substitute for Senate Bill 31 passed the Utah Senate with a 17-10 vote on Monday. The new design would replace an 8-point star with a 5-point star.

Sen. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, introduced a substitute to his Senate Bill 31 to remove the 8-point star from a new flag design, replacing it with a 5-point star. The senator said he made the change after an American Indian constituent expressed concern about the 8-point star looking like an asterisk from a distance.

Keep the original flag!!

Fantastic news!

waste of money. imagined grievances. utah flag was fine. stop doing stupid things.

Nothing wrong with the original. What an epic waste of time. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Welcome to fascism everybody, they even have their own flag

Keep the original flag please! 💙

Yeah, I’m a fan of the new flag design; good, modern flag design harnesses simple but powerful elements- fly the new state flag and make it a license plate. I said it before; plagiarizing one of my other tweets - other Utah examples of good flag design :

100% pure unadulterated straight up bullshit. Has nothing to do with anyone or anything other but someone getting kickbacks and someone making a fortune getting a new flag contract.

What happened to the trucker convoy?! I thought they were going to take care of this!!!

Dump the beehive. Utah is NOT the Mormon Church!

As long as the white still stands for purity they can tell themselves all is ok.

Love the beehive symbol. Because the hive is ruled by a Queen. It’s like settlers here didn’t understand that, or nature, or something.

Does anyone actually care, though?

What good is a flag if the area is uninhabitable?

Well, the Star about to be devoured by the beehive is accurate anyway. I say that as a direct descendant of Lyndsey Anderson Brady who rode into the Salt Lake Valley with Brigham Young. No hate, just fact. BearRiverMassacre

That flag is woke!

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Tyre Nichols and his newly launched Senate campaignFresh off announcing his Senate run, Rep.

He also comments on being stripped of his seat on the House Intelligence Committee. 'This is the weakness of Kevin McCarthy.' Adam Schiff manufacturing evidence against a duly elected president for the purposes of seeking an impeachment is a far greater threat to Democracy than anything MdCarthy is doing.💁🏼‍♂️ Area man unable to realize that if you get caught lying repeatedly, people will notice. Schiff lied about a sitting potus and accused him of being a Russian spy with zero evidence!!! Schiff should be investigated for sedition.

They prefer suicide even though the rate of suicide for transgender is so high, they just don’t care

Utah becomes first state in 2023 to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youthsUtah has become the first state this year to ban gender-affirming health care for transgender youths, part of a wave of anti-LGBTQ legislation brewing in statehouses. If being being against the sexual mutilation of children makes you 'anti-lgbtq', then so be it. The LGB shoulda kicked the Ts to the curb when they had the chance I guess. some kids identify as pirates...so it's OK to pluck out an eye and amputate a hand and leg so they can get eye patches, hooks and peg legs? just more affirming care. We as a nation should just outlaw all transgender theology.
