Gay Man Joins Salt Lake City Council
By Jesse Barron on Saturday, 2nd January 2010
Salt Lake City has elected Stan Penfold, and openly gay man, to serve on its city council. This is a progressive move on Salt Lake City’s part and Mr. Penfold is thought to be the councils first openly gay member.
He does not plan on becoming a lightening rod for gay rights issues but will rather focus on grassroots efforts such as affordable housing and improving quality of life in the neighborhoods he represents.
Growing up as a Mormon in California, Mr. Penfold moved to Utah 30 years ago and has served as the executive director of the Utah AIDS Foundation over the last decade.
