犹他州彩虹计划发放1701面跨性别旗帜 逾百志愿者参与创历年新高

犹他州盐湖县盐湖城市11月9日传来社区消息:彩虹计划(Project Rainbow Utah)组织今年向提出申请的犹他州居民家中发放了1701面跨性别旗帜,逾100名志愿者参与发放,数量创下历年新高。
今年的发放量高于去年的1558面,也远高于2022年的493面,2023年为899面、2024年为1118面,呈现逐年上升的趋势,捐款支持也创下新高。发放活动在11月13日开始的跨性别意识周之前进行,旗帜将被悬挂在申请者的自家院落,以表达对跨性别群体的支持。
这一活动的背景是,犹他州近年来通过了限制部分群体性别肯定医疗、卫生间使用等方面的立法,并禁止在公立学校和政府物业展示跨性别旗帜,私人住宅的旗帜展示因此成为表达支持的一种方式。
Project Rainbow Utah Distributes 1,701 Transgender Flags With More Than 100 Volunteers, a Record High
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Project Rainbow Utah distributed 1,701 transgender flags this year to Utah residents in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah, and across the state who requested one, with more than 100 volunteers taking part — a record high, the organization reported on November 9.
This year's total is up from 1,558 last year and far above 493 in 2022, with 899 distributed in 2023 and 1,118 in 2024, a steady annual climb, and donor support also hit an all-time high. The distribution took place ahead of Transgender Awareness Week, which begins November 13, and the flags will be displayed at applicants' homes in support of the transgender community.
The effort comes as Utah has enacted legislation limiting gender-affirming care for some groups and restroom access, and banning the transgender flag on public school and government property, making private-home displays a prominent way for supporters to show solidarity.
