Having seen so much progress on LGBTQ rights over the past decades, I have been dismayed at the recent regression and repression of such rights.By Bob Rees | For The Salt Lake TribuneThere’s no place like that anywhere in the world.I saw Jesus at the Salt Lake Pride Parade on Sunday. He was everywhere: among the innumerable and unimaginable variety of parade participants waiting to take their places within the phalanxes of people marching, dancing, prancing and celebrating gay pride.
The Pride Parade held echoes of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem with its chorus of joyful, jubilant and, at times, even wildly exuberant festivities. It was such a diverse array of celebrations as to cause one to wonder — especially at the veritable river of rainbows in every conceivable form, from multi-colored face paintings, tattoos, balloons, hats, dresses and flags to many other kinds of paraphernalia. Looking at it all, I couldn’t help but think of the irony.
