Well, that was certainly unexpected. A surprise, but a pleasant one.

Salt Lake is pretty Liberal
The previous mayor was lesbian XD
Wow. TIL
Biggest city in a very conservative state. It's an obvious destination for LGBTQ and other heathens. Really aren't that many stand out mormons here on any given day. Except for their semiannual general conference, which legitimately feels like a mormon invasion of the city.
I may have been born there, but I haven’t believed in invisible sky wizards since I was a small child.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Isn’t that true of Salt Lake City and Provo in general? That y’all have a little of what Tulsa and Norman are to Oklahoma? Beacons of sanity in a theocracy?
This is why Republicans gerrymander so hard: metropolitan areas are liberal.
this is not true in general. I am not denying this, but in india, many indian metropolitans voted for conservative party (we do not have a 2 party system, so it is hard to call 1 party as conservative, but current govt is definitely very conservatives)
Well I'm referring to Salt Lake City and Utah, and I believe my statement is accurate and factual.
Glad you clarified that now, as it wasn't evident in your original comment - that just said 'metropolitan areas', which would generally be understood to mean all metropolitan areas.
Let's hecking go!
genius.
