Letter: Mo Diggity’s, not The Locker Room, was Salt Lake City’s first gay sports bar

(Bethany Baker | The Salt Lake Tribune) An Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag hangs near the entrance to The Locker Room, a gay sports bar, in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023.

You recently published an article that mistakenly identified The Locker Room as Salt Lake City’s first gay sports bar, but Mo Diggity’s was the first (opened by Babs de Lay and two others) and was a women’s sports bar that closed around 2012.

Salt Lake City has a rich history of gay bars dating back decades, and some more historical perspective would have been nice to include.
