The Associated Press reports:
Apple CEO Tim Cook is among those in Salt Lake City for a Saturday music festival organized by Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds to support LGBT youth in the Mormon church. The appearance of the proudly gay CEO will show young people their “unlimited potential,” Reynolds said in a statement. Other headliners include dancer and singer Julianne Hough, DJ Zedd, Tegan Quin of the band Tegan and Sara, Tyler Glenn from Neon Trees as well as Imagine Dragons.
Reynolds, who is Mormon, said the festival is a passion project born from watching friends struggle with their sexuality and feeling unwelcome in the faith. “To see my community failing in this way is just not acceptable to me,” the Las Vegas native told The Associated Press last month. “When you’re given a platform at this level I feel a weight every day to do something with it.”
