I don't know the people who live in this house, and why they've done this.  I presume it's a statement against anti-immigrant sentiment in the US stoked by President Trump as well as about an increase in "nationalism" and instead is a message favoring connections between peoples and nations.

    Utah has an international outlook due to LDS missionary work.

    Definitely.

    And people who've been converted in other countries often send their children to college in Utah, or otherwise immigrate to Utah (and the intermountain states with Mormon clustering like Idaho and Arizona).

    That's why although the state is dominated by Republican elected officials, and some particularly nasty ones in Congress, polling indicates in general that residents of Utah don't support the anti-immigrant policies of the Trump Administration.

    Or maybe they just like collecting flags.

    Well, it's an expensive hobby. Each one must cost at least $50 + the pole.
