Salt Lake City's mayor has proposed three new city flags to circumvent a recent Utah law that effectively banned the flying of LGBTQ pride and other identity flags at all public buildings in the state.

Salt Lake City adopts official versions of the pride and other flags just hours before a new Utah law banning unofficial flags from schools and government buildings takes effect.

Mayor Erin Mendenhall unveiled a series of flags that appear to circumvent a new law that goes into effect banning "non-sanctioned" flags.
