Annual Utah Pride Parade held in downtown Salt Lake City
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4) — Tens of thousands of spectators lined the streets in downtown Salt Lake for the 35th Annual Utah Pride Parade on Sunday. Organizations from all across the stated participated in Sunday's parade, including ABC4. The Pride Parade, hosted by the Utah Pride Center, is the largest LGBTQ+ event in the state, drawing nearly 150,000 spectators and participants every year per the Pride Center. The theme this year is 'Radical Love'. Organizers say they chose this theme because they believe Utah is a state that can be polarizing sometimes. With state legislators passing laws directed their community like the pride flag ban, to the city stepping in to find a way to let the flag fly tall at city hall. They believe this year they are responding by celebrating love in a radical way. Chad Call, Executive Director of the Utah Pride Center told ABC4, 'Building ally-ship and creating ally-ship, it takes time.' He continued, 'I really believe this in my heart of hearts [that] It's really difficult to hate up close and when we get close to people, we see that people are just people, and that they're here to be loved. They want to love. They want to be loved. That, really, our queer community is no different from anyone else.' Sunday's parade was one of many events held in Salt Lake City this weekend as part of the pride celebration, including a two day long festival and a march from the Utah State Capitol to Washington Square Park on Saturday.
