Yeah, I live in Salt Lake City. I grew up here. Utah as a whole is overwhelmingly Mormon, and the state is unironically run by them (like 90% of state legislators are Mormon).

Salt Lake City and Park City are relatively less Mormon than the rest of the state, but it still seems hard for non-Mormons to get along here. Mormons are very cliquish and won’t mingle with non-Mormons socially. Non-Mormon kids probably have it the worst at school since they’re excluded a lot.

There’s not really a punk scene. Maybe there was before my time, but I think the movie is mostly fabricated for the funny juxtaposition.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen it that I genuinely can’t remember it. I’ll have to add it to my watch list

The PSL has a chapter in SLC, and the protests they led during the racial justice uprisings last year were really great. Check them out. There’s also a DSA chapter but they don’t seem super active.

Where these the ones where a cop car got flipped over and pooped on? I think that was my favorite cool zone moment of last summer.

what would you say the percentages of Mormons vs non-Mormons were where you went to school? Was there a substantial number of non-Mormons, or was it a very small amount?

I’d say it was about 70% Mormon to 30% non-Mormon, but I grew up in a relatively “diverse” part of Utah. :shrug-outta-hecks:
