How did you "live and work in Salt Lake" if you were refused employment and housing? Does "pretty much anything else" include food and water?
Sounds like you're lucky to be alive.
Note that I said "at one time or another"...that means I did get around the rather blatant discrimination that many Mormons practice against their countrymen.
And the grievances that the church promotes to this day that underpins all of that...Nauvoo, the Missouri persecutions, the Emigration, etc.
All of which is really hilarious to me since I'm related to half the pioneer Mormons in Utah due to family members in the Emigration. But uh, still just another Protestant, not a Latter Day Saint...
Garments too tight this morning?
