Mormons Building Bridges is a decentralized grassroots group composed primarily of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who seek to improve the attitudes between members of the LDS Church and the LGBT community.
History
MBB was founded in 2012 by Erika Munson, and Kendall Wilcox and Bianca Morrison Dillard. The first official act of the group was to march in the Salt Lake City Gay Pride Parade on June 3, 2012. Mormons Building Bridges was named Utahns of the Year by The Salt Lake Tribune on January 10, 2013. A large group of MBB members march in the Salt Lake City Pride parade each year with over 400 Mormons marching some years. They additionally sponsor hugging booths at various events giving out "hugged by a Mormon" stickers.
