Project Rainbow executive director Jacey Thornton told The Tribune that they typically expect about 10-20% of their flags to go missing any given year. They haven’t tallied this year’s losses, but Thornton expects they have lost more than normal.
A rainbow can be seen in the sky above a Salt Lake City neighborhood near 2100 East and Roosevelt Avenue, where residents lined the street with pride flags to celebrate Pride Month. The flags were stolen sometime between June 8 and June 9, 2023, a neighbor said.
Another pride flag theft was reported June 8 near the area of 1900 East Stratford Avenue, Wian said. The third theft was reported on June 9 near 1400 East Harrison Avenue. Unified police have also investigated pride flag thefts, including during a traffic stop on June 7, when Wian, with Salt Lake City police, encouraged people to report flag thefts to police. In Salt Lake City, individuals may call 801-799-3000 or file a request on the Police Department’s website.
