️Pride Month Film Screening: "A Long Way From Heaven" - Salt Lake City Public Library
Come join us at the Salt Lake City Public Library for a special screening of the film "A Long Way From Heaven" in celebration of Pride Month! From director David Sant: "A Long Way From Heaven outlines the struggles of queer students at Brigham Young university, the flagship university of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). In addition to highlighting the historical oppression these students face, the film tells the story of the brave group of students and allies who lit up the school's iconic "Y" in rainbow colors on March 4, 2021. The fallout from these events in explored in detail, focusing on the school's controversial "honor code", which bans any expression of same-sex romantic feelings."
