I just watched a video about Utah and apparently Mormons are pretty tolerant of just about everyone and even though it’s a red state they’re pretty progressive on social issues.

Take with a grain of salt, my source is a YouTube video.

Edit: I was misinformed lmao

Lmao, good one. 🤣 The Mormons contributed over three-quarters of the funding to get Prop 8 passed in California.

There is a reason why I don’t mention that I am an atheist when I travel to Utah.

I too watched that Half as Interesting/Wendover productions video, that’s not what it said. In fact he explicitly said that’s not what he’s saying.

To be fair I watched it at a taco bell on my lunch break

Lol, fair

Christianity is all about being tolerant actually. Its just that most Christians dont care

You got gaslit

Utah teen lgbtqia+ suicide rate is very high. I’ve got a friend who is a therapist out there and i do not envy them. The Mormon church tries to say that they love and accept everyone but if you push them they will clarify they can love someone but they hate the sin. Ask yourself, how can you love someone when you can’t accept a fundamental part of them? If you practice your gayness/etc you will be treated differently by Mormon church standards. You will lose out on church privileges and be ostracized.

I saw the same video, thanks for the correction before I started spreading this false fact.
