Pride weekend in Salt Lake was bigger and better than ever this year. It's so great to see the city come together and support the LGBT community. This year was extra great to celebrate all of the newlyweds who were able to get married here last December. It put a smile on my face and happiness in my heart. Hopefully we can continue to move in the right direction towards marriage equality.
Mason (left of bottom photo) is my longest and best friend. Mason and I met during high school and have been inseparable ever since. During my freshman year of college, Mason announced that he was gay. My response? "Yeah, I know." He was shocked. He was my best friend, I knew him better than I knew anyone, of course I knew! This changed absolutely nothing in our relationship. It actually probably brought us closer, I was there to stand by him as he went through the difficulties of announcing this to his friends and family and beginning the long journey to feeling comfortable with who he is. I will continue to support and encourage Mason to be proud of himself and his sexuality for the rest of our lives.
