In Utah, as a new law banning LGBTQ flags in schools takes effect, one teacher is speaking out and reminding us that queer support finds a way. John Arthur, a teacher in Utah, shared a powerful story on Threads, describing how he’s supported queer students over the years, even when the law tried to silence him.
He mentioned that a law was repealed in 2017. But starting today, Utah has banned LGBTQ flags in all government buildings, including schools. Though presented as a ban on all “unsanctioned” flags, the intent has been clear: rainbow flags are the target. But Arthur is a powerful reminder that even in silence, support can speak volumes. Queer News Tonight is reminded by John Arthur that teachers are the heart and inspiration of America.
