*Sorry, forgot to add more. I accidentally pressed enter. I've been to high school with Mormons (Though rarely met the kind disapproval of Utah Mormons) and then community college with Mormons in my soc class. I've also understood over the past few years how people can be uncomfortable with the things you describe. Totally did not get it until I got older helping my sis with her kids out and seeing the mess that high school/college does to kids in terms of self-respect. It's all on the person really; could be Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, etc. It's just, IMO, easier for people to pick on Mormons because they're growing more rapidly. Mind you, on my earlier post, I don't think Mormons are necessarily racist, but, it's just the rural mentality. But as for everything, I always keep in mind that people come to their own conclusions for a reason and you should always keep that in mind. Anyway, I'm sorry you've had a hard time with the things you've said on your list. Just hold your head up high and know you're being more true to yourself than people who feel guilted into changing their ways just because they're not the norm.
Yeah, what you've said makes a lot of sense. I just tend to get really tired of people assuming I agree with them about "Utah Mormons," and upset when people who've LIVED in Utah for a while (the urban areas) have the mindset or talk down about "Utah Mormons," and even more when other MORMONS talk down about "Utah Mormons." I just sort of feel like they should know better, you know? XP I try really hard to ignore it and let it slide, because it's their opinion and whatever...but lately I've felt like I've been keeping my mouth shut a lot and letting people assume I agree with them, and I figured it was time to set the record straight. XD Thanks so much for your comment!
