I've driven through Colorado City many, many times. We hear on the news often concerning fathers that have left the FLDS Church that can't get work, or can't buy property or rent a house in CC. Who's prejudicial? I have several polygamous neighbors here in Salt Lake County who are doing fine, no prejudice seems to bother them here. So, who is it in Southern Utah that is prejudicial? I'm curious whom you mean.
