What a beautiful day for Davis County Pride! I am a proud native son of Sunset, Utah. I consider myself lucky to have grown up in Sunset, right outside the gates of Hill Field. People of many colors and creeds were my neighbors and friends. My closest friends were more likely to be Japanese or Mexican than white. And I was welcomed, even as a Christmas-Easter Catholic, to the LDS Sunset First Ward to participate in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts.

Utah Pride Center leaders announced a new executive director, a new board, and a new path forward Wednesday. They also announced the continuation of the Utah Pride Festival and Parade. The Utah Pride Center announced in August that it laid off seven of its 19 staff members, and later furloughed the rest of the staff, citing the “instability of our organization.” Leaders temporarily closed the doors of the Center, partially reopening them in October.
