Letter: Pressuring UTA to remove Pride-themed bus points the way to a new Utah slogan

Shame on you Rep. Candice Pierucci, R-Herriman, Rep. Kay J. Christofferson, R-Lehi, House Majority Leader Mike Schultz, R-Hooper, and Rep. Colin Jack, R- St. George, for using your office to pressure UTA to remove a bus with the Pride livery from an event that brings people together!

As public servants it is your job to treat citizens equally. Your excuse that “we live in Utah, we shouldn’t have to deal with this stuff” expresses how far out of touch “the Utah way” is with the 150,000 Pride parade and citizen participants.

Should we host the Olympics again, our slogan should read “Utah welcomes the straight world.”

Andrea Globokar, Salt Lake City
