SLC is so queer-friendly that officials renamed a street in honor of the politician and gay rights activist Harvey Milk in 2016. She currently serves with three openly gay city council members: Amy Fowler, Derek Kitchen, and Chris Wharton. In 2015, Jackie Biskupski became the city’s first openly gay mayor. Nowhere is this change more pronounced than in Salt Lake’s flourishing LGBTQ+ community. Photo: Austen Diamond Photography/Visit Salt Lake
