23. Mormon Meth-Head Moms, Part One

Returning to live in Utah in my 40s was, well differnt. Trying to be true to myself in the ultra-conformist, freakishly bizarre pseudo reality of Utah was as challenging as it was lonely.  

I began working as a lobbyist, asking the Utah State Legislature for money to pay for HIV medication. I studied FOX news and BYUTV to learn how to effectively communicate in America's most conservative state, oh yeah and I got run over by a Mormon soccer mom on meth.
