(KSL News) -- Salt Lake Mayor Rocky Anderson gave his State of the City address tonight.
The Mayor said the recent decision to pull the movie "Brokeback Mountain," even though it was in Sandy, gives Salt Lake a "bigoted and backward" image.
The Mayor says people of all sorts are welcome in the city.
The Mayor pointed to a big decrease in major crimes and says the crime rate in the city is the lowest it's been in 14 years.
Mayor Anderson also praised Salt Lake's lead in developing the intermodal transit hub, which will see commuter trains from Ogden start arriving in 2008.
