SLC: International Capital of Gay Marriage
The mighty labors of Chris Buttars, LaVar Christensen and Gayle Ruzicka have come to naught.Check out his headline in the Times of London:
Gay weddings flourish in a religious strongholdCan Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah and known for its devout Mormon beliefs, be a new home for gay marriage?
But the Brits apparently aren't swayed by careful word choice when they describe the mutual commitment of Holly Miller and P.R. Banks, above:
This was no ordinary gay wedding, if any gay wedding could be construed as ordinary. It took place recently in my hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah, which doesn't have a reputation for being exceptionally progressive or tolerant.
Now, Jenny Wilson wants to extend the horror of gay commitment domestic partner marriage adult designees thingees to Salt Lake County's employees.

Salt Lake has a very large gay community. In part, it comes from the Mormons themselves: a large percentage were raised in traditional LDS families. The irony is hilarious.
I have lived in Salt Lake City for over 12 years, and unbeknownst to the small percentage of conservatives in Utah, anyone who really knew salt lake city would know it is one of the most liberal cities in the US. The mormons do not dominate in Salt Lake City as much as they do it's suburbs. Utah has more gay's per capita than any other state in the U.S. The unfortunate part is most of them are married gay mormons lol
This is the wave of the future. I predict SLC will have an openly gay mayor within ten years.
