I've been out of the Morg for 10 years now and it seems like a lot of negative publicity has suddenly been thrown on the LDS church, such as Big Love, Fundamentalist Mormons getting arrested,September Dawn, Prop 8, and so forth.
Do you think it is harder for Mormons to publicly admit to being Mormon nowadays? I for one had always been a little bit bashful of admitting I was Mormon, but I would be flat out embarrassed if I was one today. It seems like in the past people thought of Mormons as just wholesome but quirky folks, but now it seems they get BAD coverage all the time and they so much more about Mormonism just from all the books, articles, movies etc.
What do you think? Do you know Mormons who admit to wanting to keep it secret they are Mormon? (though Utahns probably aren't as affected as much since they are the majority)
