Equality Utah History

With a vision of “a fair and just Utah,” Unity Utah was founded in 2001 by a group of visionary members of the Utah lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community.

In an effort to expand our scope of influence, Unity Utah became Equality Utah in 2004 at the same time forming Equality Utah Foundation and Equality Utah Political Action Committee. While Equality Utah, our membership organization, focuses on our lobby effort, Equality Utah Foundation focuses on issues education and the PAC focuses on endorsing and supporting LGBT candidates as well as candidates who are strong on LGBT issues.

Founded as a grassroots organization, we continue to activate both members of the LGBT community and LGBT allies as we work for “a fair and just Utah.”
