    The deal with Utah is it’s actually only 40% Mormon. And when you have a bunch a kids growing up in the Mormon church, a decently large number of them will crash out. And when they crash out, they tend to crash out pretty hard.

    So Utah has large communities for various countercultures and alternative lifestyles. You can visit a random business, and often find both types working together side by side. And it is usually quite obvious which is which from external signs.

      Salt Lake City, despite being home to The Mormon Temple, has a huge number of non-Mormons, and non-religious people in general. Pride there was a lot of fun!
