This Utah LGTBQ+ activist aims to protect his community by breaking bread with GOP lawmakers

Since joining Equality Utah as its executive director nearly a decade ago, the LGBTQ+ rights activist has made unlikely allies as he has worked to protect his community.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Troy Williams, Executive Director of Equality Utah, poses for a photograph at the Utah Capitol on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. Williams talked about his success in getting anti-LGBTQ measures and proposals repealed and changed, and the unlikely connections he's built with some of Utah's most conservative figures in his efforts to protect the state's LGBTQ community.
