Gay rights advocates return to Utah capitol demanding statewide protections

[sheshe2]

Troy Williams speaks during an news conference and rally Wednesday, March 5, 2014, at the Utah State Capitol, in Salt Lake City. Protesters pushing for Utah to adopt a statewide anti-discrimination law protecting sexual and gender orientation returned to the state Capitol three weeks after they were arrested for blocking entrances to committee rooms.

The bill (SB 100), which has appeared before the Legislature about half a dozen times, has traditionally been a Democratic proposal.

With Urquhart’s backing, last year was the first time a Republican sponsored the measure. It moved further than ever before, winning approval from a Senate committee, before it died.

Urquhart has vowed to run the bill every year until lawmakers pass it.

The demonstrators made a similar vow Wednesday.

“We are going to fight and work until every LGBT Utahan can live and work in this state without discrimination,” Williams said.

That last picture, " All for One and One for All", that says it. Everyone has to stand up and be counted. For LGBT Rights, Women's Rights and AA Rights. We need to stand together.
