If they're lucky those flags might be either edible or flammable, so when their supplies inevitably run out after a week they might have something to eat or stay warm with.
They fall over themselves to prevent public inebriety and frown heavily at alcohol, but publicly celebrating sodomy, pedophilia, and fornication? A-fucking-okay!
So, a) those aren't Mormons B) they're probably doing it to thumb their noses at Mormons. Since the state, and most of the Rocky Mountain states actually, were founded by Mormons, the counter culture is very against the faiths culture.
Utah tends to be stuck in the 80's, so those rebelling against it dress like rebels from the 80's. It's weird, and hilarious. True story, Las Vegas used to be a military base and Mormon farming area. The strip was nothing but farmland and it confused people there why anyone would want to buy all that useless land. When you get a few blocks away from the strip you see the Utah and antiUtah culture everywhere. The Mormons were building a temple in the city and the antiUtah people said it had to be a casino.
The faith itself often contradicts the culture so I have to point out they're different. Mormons don't drink coke, while the faith itself has Dr Pepper in it's cafeterias for faculty to enjoy. Everyone asked me when my ancestors crossed the plains. I had to explain I am from Germany and took one.
I've worked and lived in those areas and it's always a bizarre thing to talk about. SLC is definitely the antiUtah culture a block away from the temple.

It's weirder than that. They all had free soda fountain machines in their offices. Craziest thing I ever saw. Like you people don't even like hot drinks but you give them away for free?
All the streets are numbered such that the temple is right in the center. Given any address you know exactly where the temple is in relation to you. You're at the insersection of "200 North" and "400 West?" Yep, go 2 blocks south and 3 east. You're at the temple now. If you stayed where you were you could get a pretty decent hamburger.
It's unlike any other cities outside of Utah that way. Only Pennsylvania is more insane.
Going in and tearing down these flags is one of the things I'd be willing to go to jail for.
There's a rock garden/pottery store that flies a shame flag (better name for it don't you think?) and I deeply considered going and cutting it down fully accepting that I'd be arrested for that.
I decided not to, but part of that is I live with my parents and I'm not going to cause issues when I'm fortunate to be living with them (long story, trying to get back on my feet).
If I lived alone, I'd probably be in jail for something like that. That's how I'm wired.
Like the guy who tore down the Baphomet statue in that city hall or capital building.
I'd take whatever sentence they'd give me with pride (the true meaning of the word)
Amend the law to only allow 1 official city flag, council/public referendum must vote on 1 and until only 1 is chosen 0 are allowed. Council can only vote to change the flag once every 5 years.
What a stunning and brave act of protest. Truly, they are the heroes of our time and definitely not complete tools.
I await the period of history when we look back on this like Chinese foot binding or using mercury to treat syphilis.
to be fair if you kill your self syphilis dies with you.
when they took the gay flags away..
I did not stand up because I am not gay and flags are fucking retarded.
everything turned out fine anyways.
Civil War 2 is going to be the cities vs everyone else.

Yeah, that sounds like SLC. The rest of Utah is not like this, but SLC is where the Californians and the left all show up.
The new pride flag should be banned purely for its affront to colour co-ordination.
I'm old enough to remember the stereotype that fags had good taste in design.

Pathetic.

I read this wrong at first 🙄
"Why would you farm Mormons? 🤔"
Hot Mormon girls are a plus and a minus
Mitt Romney doing calculations on his binders

They like hot cocoa as well. They actually had a cultural debate if Chocolate was against the rules because it has caffeine in it.
Yeah, I was a visiting professor at a uni in Utah and saw the soda fountains. It made me laugh a bit, and then another prof had to explain.
Was this voted on?
In Boise, it was. By the city council in a 5 to 1 vote with no public testimony allowed. Details here.
For SLC, I have not been able to find anything.
Wait. I thought that area was Mormon central?
The Mormons produced Mitt Romney too. They're not immune to outgroup preference or libtardation.
They went to Idaho and circled the wagons because liberals from California invaded Utah
Literally.

It's where all the liberals live no matter what faith they call themselves members of.
Salt Lake City is one of the gayest cities in the United States.
Unfortunately the SLC metro area is a fucking shithole. It's just easy to think otherwise because it's in the middle of a deep red state.

Honestly, good. Their saying the quiet part out loud.
"There is no state mandated homosexuality, that's a crazy conspiracy theory."
"You made the gay pride flag a state flag"
This isn't about respect, this is about subjugation.
I'm from somewhere near SLC and the place has been a liberal shithole since at least 2000. This does not surprise me at all.
Also, doesn't help that my town is ALSO a liberal shithole. Just much smaller. Our city government is thinking of doing the same thing!
Yeah, Utah is weird. I love how the billboards are either about some big Mormon thing, or totally against it.

I archived it to show the comments.

That's a very good point
It says it’s not archived.
It seems to be archived when I hit it... Yay, new problems.
What happened, Utah?
what a cult.. even the juneteenth bullshit too. lol.
Then they also better make a straight pride flag an official city flag asap or get ready to get the shit sued out of them.
SLC get on this.
At least they officially recognize their conquerors.
