A Kitchen in city hall....

Derek Kitchen, the lead plaintiff in the suit that lead to marriage equality in Utah is running for city council in Salt Lake City and came in first in the primary. He faces the #2 finisher for a runoff this November. Meanwhile, an open lesbian has finished #1 in her primary and will face the current sitting mayor in that race in SLC this fall.

I have heard in the past, Salt Lake is supposed to be fairly gay friendly, which I had taken with a grain of salt. (As in the whole bloody shaker!) Perhaps I need to question my assumption.
