Salt Lake City, located along Utah's majestic Wasatch Mountains, has historically been a cradle of peculiar people. Before Western culture developed terms for lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) identities, diverse communities who recognized their differences from mainstream America made Salt Lake their home. By the early 1970s, a discernible "gay community" had emerged in Salt Lake City, laying the groundwork for future activism and institutions. In the 1970s, publications like Gayzette, the Salt Lick, and the Open Door documented the nascent movement. In the 1980s, amidst devastation from the HIV/AIDS epidemic, marginalized communities valiantly worked to fight the disease and support each other. By the 1990s, LGBT Utahns had gained traction legally and politically with the formation of the first gay straight alliance at East High School and the election of the first openly gay person to the Utah legislature in 1998. The transgender community became more visible in the new century, and by 2008, Utah began to play a prominent role in the battle over marriage equality.

• Absolutely love having this book in our Library. It's so great to have SLC's LGBTQ history archived in one book. Thank you J. Seth Anderson for all the pain staking hours you spent doing research for us to have at our fingertips. LOVE IT!
• I love all the pictures and short stories! I found the history fascinating--I particularly enjoyed the historical photos of old downtown and Brigham Young's son who was a drag performer.
• This is a needed book on the history of LGBT. The historical overview is well-researched and clearly presented. The pictures make it a vivid and memorable read. Every library should have this in its collection. Highly recommend!
• This is a great photo history of the LGBT community in SLC. Lots of great photos and stories are shared in this very quick read.
• A short but important history. As as been said before, we cannot understand the present without understanding the past.
• Great, creative book
• Formidable read— excellent research, topic and I always like personal stories and photos with them. Highly highly recommend! I live in Utah and it is such a peculiar state regarding LGBTQIA+ individuals. Unfortunately not in a positive way but changes came and are coming for the best. I know the book will help you understand the peculiar relationship, its struggles and triumphs. Very proud of Seth and his work!
