We would love to have been a fly on the wall during this meeting!
Utah advocacy organizations Equality Utah and Utah Pride arranged a meeting between local LGBT families and executives of KSL and Bonneville International. KSL is the NBC affiliate that chose not to air The New Normal, based on its "questionable" (read: gay) content.
GLAAD announced that they'll be partnering with Equality Utah and Utah Pride Center to host a panel discussion and screening of the The New Normal for Utah residents.
KSL released a statement following the meeting with members of Utah's LGBT community. Curious about what the station had to say? Find out after the jump.
