When did you depart The Beehive State? The OP probably deserves to have some context as to how old your anti-Utah gouge is. Some of your critiques were probably somewhat accurate in the 80s or 90s. A lot has changed in the last couple decades - especially after the Winter Olympics, when Utah rolled out the welcome mat to the world. Demographics, population, attitudes and liquor laws have all changed quite a bit. Your point about the Boy Scouts, for instance, is now false. The LDS Church cut ties with the BSA about 5 years ago. If you sign your kid up for Scouts, I 100% guarantee they won’t be meeting in, or sponsored by, an LDS chapel.
Sorry you had a crappy experience living in Utah, but you seem to be offering the OP pretty outdated info, sprinkled with some tired old anti-Mormon tropes.
