Salt Lake&#x;s Gay Bar Scene Is Growing, Thriving, and Never Looking Back
In a state known for its religious zeal, Salt Lake City serves as a bastion of progressiveness, playfulness, and pride. In fact, the city&#x;s been listed by Advocate magazine as one of the Ten Queerest Cities in America. The city holds one of the biggest and best-attended Pride parades and festivals around, with Pride Week festivities attracting tens of thousands of participants who light up the downtown scene in full rainbow-hued regalia. (There&#x;s even a Utah Gay Ski Week&#x;real thing, , see you there.)
Of course, it doesn&#x;t have to be a parade to celebrate pride and inclusivity. It&#x;s pretty easy for everyone of every orientation to jump in on the incredible fun that is Salt Lake on a hot city darkness and the regular rotation of drag shows maintain the city sizzling all through the winter.
