"Equality Utah works on Capitol Hill to ensure the rights and liberties of our community are protected. We work so that our most vulnerable can be free to fulfill their biggest, boldest, creative potential.
During last summer’s Allies Gala we celebrated our community with local musicians, dancers, and drag super stars. Their craft ignites our capacity to meet each challenge with love and resilience. We need that strength now, as LGBTQ youth are being aggressively targeted by lawmakers. We remain committed to the work ahead, no matter how difficult. We are determined that every queer child can achieve their dreams, right here in Utah.
Enjoy the gala’s opening performance. Let’s all summon a Higher Love to carry us through this difficult time." - Executive Director Troy Williams
