One of Utah’s former openly gay politicians will be leaving the state this summer to take up another political job.
Earlier this month, outgoing Rep. Christine Johnson, who resigned at the end of this year’s Legislative Session, announced that she has accepted the offer to serve as Equality South Carolina’s Executive Director. Like Equality Utah, the group is a statewide gay and transgender rights group that is part of the Equality Federation, a network of groups in U.S. states and territories which include several smaller community groups as well as statewide organizations.
