Equality in the States
Through their “Common Ground” initiative, Equality Utah Foundation has demonstrated how equality can be achieved for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people at the state and local level, even in historically conservative parts of the country. The objective of Common Ground is to educate residents statewide about the discrimination many Utahns face in employment and housing simply because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Building on the success of Common Ground in 2010, Equality Utah Foundation took their efforts statewide under the name “Ten in 10,” with the goal of having 10 cities or counties adopt similar nondiscrimination ordinances. Learn more about how Equality Utah Foundation worked to change hearts and minds and reach their goal of protecting LGBT Utahns and their families.
