An evening with David Smurthwaite and Peter Breinholt

LIFT + LOVE PRESENTS
THE UTAH HEARTH - Firesides for LGBTQ+ Latter-day Saints and those who love them

David Smurthwaite is the fortunate partner to his eternal girlfriend, Marisa, and their four inspiring boys: Noah, Sam, Oliver, and Eliot. They have lived on five continents over the past decade and love movie nights, game nights, and fun with extended family. As a gender-expansive (transgender) soul, David loves every chance to educate on LGBTQIA+ topics in the Church. His hope with every conversation is a greater sense of belonging for LGBTQIA+ members and allies, especially the youth and young adults. David’s fondest Church memories have come from serving with the youth & young adults as a bishop, a youth leader, and a seminary teacher.

Peter Breinholt is a well-known performer in the Salt Lake region and became so largely through word-of-mouth. His debut record became the best-selling, independently-released CD ever in the state and was described by Salt Lake Magazine as "an underground classic". Peter has performed for countless sold out crowds in every major concert hall in the state, including Kingsbury Hall, Tuacahn and Sundance. In 2016, Gary Herbert honored Peter with the Governor's Mansion Award for Achievement in the Performing Arts for his influence as a songwriter and performing artist.
