Utah Representative Trevor Lee, who sponsored a bill banning pride flags and was linked to fake Twitter accounts posting anti-LGBTQ content, is now proposing to rename Harvey Milk Boulevard in Salt Lake City through legislative action.

On Friday, Lee posted on X, citing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s call to rename the USNS Harvey Milk—a Navy ship honoring the assassinated San Francisco supervisor and gay rights activist—as justification for renaming Harvey Milk Boulevard, ironically, Trevor Lee misspelled the ship’s name in the post.

Lee also falsely claims Milk was a pedophile, an accusation rooted in anti-LGBTQ misinformation with no credible evidence. Historical records confirm Milk was a dedicated gay rights advocate with no criminal record. During Milk’s era, California’s age of consent was 18 for same-sex relationships until 1976, when it equalized to 16, and New York’s was 17; Milk’s documented life shows no violations of these laws.

Critics argue Lee’s proposal to rename the street targets the LGBTQ community, driven by Lee’s personal and religious biases as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, rather than reflecting the broader interests of his constituents. Many of Lee’s supporters (and followers on X) align with fringe alt-right groups like DezNat, known for anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and hate.

Governor Spencer Cox publicly called Trevor Lee’s pride flag ban bill “dumb,” underscoring ongoing tensions between state and local leadership over issues of inclusion and representation.

The threat to rename Harvey Milk Boulevard remains in its early stages, with public and political reactions continuing to develop as the debate unfolds. Salt Lake’s pro-LGBTQ city council is expected to dismiss Lee’s proposal.

Every June, rainbows flood streets, social media, and communities worldwide as Pride Month kicks off. But why do we celebrate it?

The story of Pride Month is one of resilience, rebellion, and the fight for equality—a legacy rooted in a pivotal moment in history that continues to inspire.

Pride commemorates the Stonewall Uprising, a series of protests that erupted in June 1969 in New York City. At the time, LGBTQ+ individuals faced rampant discrimination. Laws criminalized same-sex relationships, and police raids on gay bars, like the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, were routine. These spaces were among the few where queer people could gather openly, yet they were often targeted with violence and arrests.

On June 28, 1969, everything changed.

When police raided the Stonewall Inn, patrons—led by trans women of color like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera—fought back. The crowd resisted, sparking days of protests that galvanized the LGBTQ+ community. Stonewall wasn’t the first act of defiance, but it became a turning point, igniting the modern gay rights movement.

The following year, on June 28, 1970, the first Pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago to mark the anniversary of Stonewall. These events, initially called “Gay Liberation Marches,” were both protests and celebrations, demanding visibility and equal rights. Over time, they grew into what we know as Pride.

Pride Month is a time to honor the courage of those who stood up against oppression and to celebrate the progress made since—like the legalization of same-sex marriage in many countries and growing acceptance of diverse identities. Yet, it’s also a reminder that the fight isn’t over. Anti-LGBTQ+ laws, violence, and discrimination persist in many places.

Today, Pride is a kaleidoscope of parades, festivals, and advocacy. It’s about joy, love, and community, but also about remembering the struggles that paved the way.

Whether you’re waving a rainbow flag or supporting from afar, know that Pride Month is a tribute to those who dared to demand change—and a call to keep pushing for a world where everyone can live authentically.
