Legislature unlikely to oppose LGBT rights measures in Salt Lake City: " Salt Lake City's landmark protections for gay and transgender residents appear likely to take effect after surviving the last hurdle: the Legislature.
But most legislative leaders say it's doubtful those provisions against discrimination in housing and employment will be expanded statewide during the 2010 session — despite a historic endorsement from the LDS Church.

Howard Stephenson, R-Draper, 'just to kind of see how [they work] and if we need to work any bugs out before we sponsor anything statewide.'"

Online gay group concerned that Seattle Pride is attempting to "normalize" gays? "The producers of the annual parade have chosen to focus the
celebration on the passing of Referendum 71, the first time in American
history that a LGBT civil rights issue was approved at a state ballot
box, granting Washingtonian LGBT residents the same rights and
responsibilities which all other residents enjoy. Still, a faction
within the community feel that the theme is offensive and are charging
that it attempts to normalize the LGBT community."
