Good point. That info used to be posted on Utah Pride's website but I'm sure you're right. I was in Houston during pride a few years back and it was massive. I do know that it is huge for our market size. Our gay community is active, powerful and influential and has been a massive driver for our food, beverage and arts scenes for decades. SLC is usually in the top of advocate's yearly ratings:
