Gay bar salt lake city utah
Maybe we’ve been operating under an obsolete impression about Salt Lake City being very conservative. We’ve had many former-Mormon friends over the years tell us stories about how they were ostracized for being LGBTQ+. Plus, Salt Lake City is the headquarters of the Mormon Church.
