What the community is saying!

  • I love this place. It's so lovely to be somewhere I can feel normal and accepted, especially in a community where I rarely feel like that.

    — Mish J

  • This place is a jewel for the Salt Lake City LGBTQ+ community. Encircle offers everything from art nights, friendship circles, and a lot more.

    — Chris D

  • If a building could be built out of pure love, acceptance, validation, and the power of good could be used to construct a house, this place is it!
