SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah student Ien Zielinski’s response on learning last June that the LGBT Resource Center would be closed was strong and immediate. “I remember I took a deep breath, screamed in my car and texted my adviser,” Zielinski said. Zielinski had anticipated the closure, precipitated by passage last January of HB261, and after the deep breath and scream, reached out to the faculty adviser and pulled out the plans, already drawn up, to create a new LGBTQ “safe space” at the U. The Student Pride Center, as it is known, formally opened on Aug. 19, and on Thursday, Zielinski and other boosters gathered for a formal grand opening ceremony and to launch fundraising efforts.
