Utah is very conservative, but quietly polite to queers. Historically, you'll get some smiles, and some staring, and that's it, in my experience. After the assassination, it became really tense for a bit, the way it never has been. I had a car drive up next to me on my walk and just hang out there, so I don't go on evening walks anymore.
My partner and kid and I are doing well in our relationships, and I am loving my transition. We're making plans to leave the US, but it's just so hard to do, and it might take a while.
