Dear Editor,
Some of your readers are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, like myself, and find a lot of your articles very informative. I appreciate our diverse culture here in Salt Lake City and I try to be tolerant and open to other people's opinions and beliefs. I was so disappointed to see in the article "Summer Fest Survival Guide" by Alex Springer, a photo of a person wearing LDS temple undergarments as a joke about what to wear to a Marie Osmond concert in Deer Valley. Those garments have a special meaning and are sacred to LDS adherents, similar to special clothing worn by Jews, Catholics, Buddhists, Native Americans and many other groups. It is very offensive to see them displayed in a mocking, ridiculing, insensitive way by a publication that prides itself on respecting all people. In my opinion, Mr. Springer is a religious bigot who is intolerant of others beliefs. I can laugh at many things about the LDS culture in Utah, but this type of thing crosses the line of good taste and civility, which we could desperately use more of in the world today.
Thank you for considering my opinion.
Kevin Flynn,
Salt Lake City

Editor's note: Springer, a proud, former garment-wearer, did not pen the article referenced. Garments were, however, mentioned in Peter Holslin's "Rock It, Man!" music fests preview. Though by his own admission he's a "free-baller," Holslin, upon reading the above-published letter, issued the following statement: "I have nothing but respect for garments of all secular and non-secular varieties."

Watching the videos on social of the actors leading kids around the park and getting everyone involved in the resistance, especially Rey [Star Wars character], has made my whole year better.

Do it legally, and I will welcome you. Come here illegally, and I will work to deport your ass back to wherever you came from. It's real simple.
