Software Developer is the most common job in Utah, it's kind of surprising this happened despite that.

Software developers are more anti tech than most.

It's not surprising at all for Utah. That is a highly Mormon run state that has strong stances on how you should live your life. Even if you are a "goi" (I use the word loosely to illustrate the cultural metaphor in a us v them mentality) to them. What is amazing is that they have this strong stance on how to restrictively govern the people inside their borders, but yet expect to have a western lifestyle support them. More organizations should stand up and say "I'll pass" in a blanket ban on them.

  > That is a highly Mormon run state that has strong stances on how you should live your life. Even if you are a "goi" (I use the word loosely to illustrate the cultural metaphor in a us v them mentality) to them. I think you're crossing a line here. You are accusing the Mormons in Utah of having a us-versus-them mentality. But your own comment tries to turn readers against Mormons. Never forget: The Missouri Executive Order 44, also known as the Mormon Extermination Order, was issued on October 27, 1838, by Governor Lilburn Boggs. The order authorized the expulsion of Mormons from the state and is sometimes referred to as the "Mormon Kill Law". However, the order was rescinded by Governor Christopher S. "Kit" Bond in 1976. I think we should all be more charitable to Mormons after what they've been through.

    That was 185 years ago, how charitable have Utah mormons been this year to the LGBT community? The unspoken intentions of this bill given the state's recent legislative priorities are absolutely horrifying and far more deserving of criticism and deep skepticism than charity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/8:_The_Mormon_Proposition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/8:_The_Mormon_Proposition

    Being through some shit isn’t a reason to alienate everyone else though.

    Yeah because the Mountain Meadows Massacre 19 years later wasn't an us vs them mentality or anything

    Mormonism was persecuted because it was a sex cult and it refused to follow American law.
