Utah Sen. Derek Kitchen speaks during a news conference at the Utah State Capitol on Tuesday, June 7, 2022, in Salt Lake City. As the nation awaits a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding a Mississippi law that calls for banning abortion after 15 weeks, LGBTQ advocates are pushing to codify protections for same-sex marriage in states throughout the country. "We should all be worried about our other fundamental rights that have been obtained through the courts over the last decade or so," said Kitchen, a Democrat and the state's only LGBTQ lawmaker said.
