Transgender Day of Visibility celebration highlights importance of belonging for Utah’s trans community Project Rainbow and the Utah Trans Plus Coalition sponsored the event, and organizers said it’s no accident that it was held in West Valley City.

“We’ve seen a lot of anti-trans legislation, both across the country and in this state, that target our youth. And it’s really important that they know that we’re here for them and we’ll always keep fighting for them.”
