SALT LAKE CITY - The conservative policy making group, The Sutherland Institute, is opposed to the newly passed Salt Lake ordinances that defend gay people from discrimination. The institute was opposed to the city laws since they were first a proposal in the Salt Lake City Council. They say the new laws will threaten traditional marriage in Utah and they want the ordinances repealed. The ordinances passed on Tuesday make it illegal to discriminate against gays in housing and employment.
