Today, I was hanging out with a friend out of state. He had some friends with him and we were all having a great time, until they found out I live in Utah. They instantly assumed I was Mormon and started to act weird around me. This is a frequent occurrence. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my boyfriend's family for the first time. We got on the subject of theatre, and his dad brought up "The Book of Mormon", how finally someone was making fun of those "nasty, polygamist, cultist freaks", and if his son ever dated one, he would disown him. I'm Mormon. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend is a Mormon, when his mother greeted me saying how happy she was her son had found himself a Mormon girlfriend. I know nothing about Mormonism, except from what I've seen on South Park, and I'm an atheist. FML
Today, my friend dragged me out of a movie because they swore a bit and there was drug use. Apparently, she's a Mormon now, and, "doesn't want her values compromised." This from the same girl who tried to get me to try crack a few weeks ago. FML
Today, I found out my hot Mormon neighbors can be gay, but they can’t act on it. FML
Today, I answered the door to two Mormon girls from America. I live in the UK and am not religious at all, but I was too polite to slam the door and ended up letting them in. An hour later, a copy of 'The Book of Mormon' and 'My Pathway to Baptism' and I think I'm now a Mormon. FML
Today, my friends were acting strange around me. This afternoon, I got a text asking me to meet them out for a couple of drinks. Because of all the strange acting, I decided to tell them I'd go and then not go. I just found out they had been planning me a surprise party. FML
Today, I went to a friend's party, only to realize I was in the wrong apartment, after getting the address confused. Instead of awkwardly leaving, I stayed for a bit and pretended I was someone’s cousin. I was oddly suspicious that no one noticed me mingling, but then it turned out to be a shady MLM recruitment party for a leggings company. FML
Today, my church friends ditched me to go skiing with a bunch of jewish basketball players from another school. They said I’d "harsh the vibe" with my "principles". The photos they post online look like they’re having a lot of fun. FML
Today, I found out that my friends were convinced that I was gay. I have known most of them for 3 plus years, they all thought my girlfriend was a special shopping partner. I found this out while announcing my engagement. FML
Today, I found out why people in my new neighborhood keep giving me weird looks. For a laugh, my brother had gone around telling them I'm a parolee, and implying that I couldn't be trusted around their children. FML

It should be as simple as: "Are you mormon?" "No" " Ok cool" Your friends are idiots.

Even if you were a mormon, they should still treat you the same way.

For the record: Alaskans are not eskimos nor live in igloos, Arkansans don't all mate with relatives, Californians and Hawaiians are not all surfer dudes, Colorado pot and skiing, Floridians not all old, Georgia and the southern women with the fine accent and '50s speech, Idaho not all potato farmers, Kansas and a Dorothy situation, Mainers with their lobster-only diet, Mississippi KKK and illiterates, Montanans don't usually ride horses to school, Jersey and that awful orange tan, Oklahomans don't regularly attend powwows nor live in teepees, Vermont with the syrup... sorry I skipped some of yall and I'm not even going to start international, but you get the idea and yes, I borrowed some from yahoo. Feel free to add what stereotype grinds your gears. Let's everyone get educated.

I live in Utah as well and people assume the same. It sucks, but I think it's a generalization that's fairly stuck.

Tell them that though you do come from a very religious state it is also the state with the lowest homeless population, and you hear that their state has a lot. Therefore they must be homeless and how sorry you feel for them. When they correct you, you correct them.
