Equality Utah celebrated for the second year in a row in southern Utah; and that's a pretty epic step in the journey to equal rights.
This year's celebration, Equality Evolution, was a little bittersweet for me. Last year I had the opportunity to be loosely involved in the planning process. But with my editorial duties for Dixie Sun, it was near impossible for me to follow through on a lot of the responsibilities that came with being on Equality Utah's committee. So this year my involvement was restricted to celebration attendee only.
Well, and eventually I got a press badge for the photos I was taking.
I was glad to see the celebration, like it's namesake this year, has evolved. Last year was a great start to a wonderful tradition, but I think this year's event was even better. In lieu of any drag performances (which I hereby declare too cliche for a serious fundraising event), the committee opted to have three actors portray three human rights pioneers: Susan B. Anthony, Harvey Milk and Barney Frank.
It was not just a piece of entertainment like it was last year. This year it was educational. Well done, Equality Utah. Pictured below is just a small sample of the fun that was had at Kayenta.
