Annual Gay Pride Festival Kicks Off with Record Breaking Crowd SALT LAKE CITY - The annual gay pride festival, Utah Pride 2009, launched Friday with festivities and gay rights activism. The festival is slightly different from previous years as it is riding a temultuous wake after Proposition 8 was upheld in California -- a proposition that barred gay marriage within the state. Event organizers say they saw record crowd this year. FOX 13's Scott McKane was there Saturday to highlight some of the main events and to summarize what more is to come.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
