Sky Young started going to the Utah Pride Center ten years ago when she first came out. However, little if any growth has occurred with the program since those 10 years to everyone's concern.
UTAH COUNTY, Utah — Sky Young started going to the Utah Pride Center ten years ago when she first came out.
“My parents weren't the most accepting, so I would kind of go up there trying to seek support, kind of make a plan for the future and find people who were like me," she said. “They've been a really important part of my life and I want it to continue on.”“I feel like they haven't really expanded their resources a lot, which has been kind of a, a problem for me because being down in Utah County, there's not really a lot of access to queer things down here," she said.
“When you go to a festival, you want to see small businesses and artists and local makers," said Gates."You don't want to go to see Walmart and Verizon and the FBI." Going forward, business owners and people who need life-saving resources hope the Utah Pride Center will be transparent about how it’s spending money.
“I kind of said, 'Hey, I'd love for you guys to put up all your financial statements, do a full financial audit, post all of your information transparently on your website,'" said Young.

Queer leaders: LGBTQI+ people still overwhelmingly absent from corporate boardsMost companies like to show that they care about queer people. Following gains in rights and legal recognition over the last decades, it is now a commonly established ritual to display a rainbow logo during Pride Month. Big corporations such as North Face, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Target and Kohl's have all recently ran inclusive ad campaigns featuring Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) people. This makes sense from a business perspective, with 'pink money' weighing 3.5 trillion euros globally and around 874 billion euros in the EU. However, many in the LGBTQI+ community will brush off these gestures as pinkwashing if they are not backed up with more substantial action. This could mean a company standing by a queer influencer hired to promote a product when they are attacked by the far-right as a result of this exposure. Or including out LGBTQI+ people at the top of the corporate ladder.
