  Salt Lake City has come a long way since its ultra conservative, Mormon early years. Now it will not be long before the Utah cities of Provo and Ogden elect their first openly gay mayor or a Hispanic or a black mayor since the Mormons are shifting out of those two cities and into their surrounding suburbs just they have been doing in Salt Lake City.

  I was reading that one of the reasons for this is that there is a large lgbt community in salt lake city. It turns out when the gay mormon's come out many of them move to salt lake city.

  So much for those outdated and inaccurate stereotypes of "homophobic" Mormons.

  The church still has a lot of work to do:

  I doubt that SLC would have gotten the same results if they did not have such a high population of LGBT people. They have one of the highest populations of LGBT people per capita in the country. LGBT have historically tended to move to larger cities, which tend to be more accepting. So it makes sense that SLC would have a higher LGBT population for that area.

  I wonder what attracted all the gays, lesbians, and bisexuals to Salt Lake City because back in the 80s and early 90s it was a very conservative city.

  Salt Lake City is a very beautiful, clean city. I consider it the best planned city in the US Provo is also a very beautiful, clean city as well. Both cities are changing quite rapidly, I just hope that the rapid growth of both Salt Lake City and Provo doesn't cause those cities to compromise on their strengths that attracted people to them in the first place.

  Well than your rapidly growing home city of Colorado Springs is closet case central ripe for blasting wide open with all those whacky Focus on the Family people preaching and lecturing to everyone about morality yet doing the complete opposite in their own daily lives.

  I would disagree that the stereotype is either outdated or inaccurate. It would seem that most Mormons fall within the stereotype. Those Mormon gays that are moving into Salt Lake are for the most part ex-Mormons or no longer practicing (Since Mormons who engage in gay sex are supposed to be kicked out)
