Any Mormon gathering larger than a local level in the states often results in screaming, sign carrying protesters. We're talking about hard core bible belters that drive across the country to protest these events.

It's very tiresome and appears to be a US only problem. It's particularly annoying to us, because what happened to us last would have ended in hate law charges at home. I'll explain what happened more detail in my personal journal later, but it's gotten so bad that I know that someone is going to get physically hurt or worse in the next few years.
