Being Gay in SLC
SLC = Salt Lake City!
This article really enlightened me
At the moment, Massachusetts is the only American state where civil marriage is legal for gays and lesbians. But surprisingly, Holly and P.R.’s wedding was more than just a public demonstration of their commitment. In September 2005, Salt Lake’s then mayor, Rocky Anderson issued an Executive Order granting same-sex partners in the City proper the same health and other employment benefits available to heterosexual couples. Executive orders have the force of law based on existing statutory powers, and require no outside backing for them to be enforced.
I had NO idea that this law was enacted. Neither did I think that Mormon SLC could *perhaps* lead the way for some gay rights laws.
