SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Thousands of people stripped to their underwear and ran through Salt Lake City to protest what they called the "uptight" laws of Utah.
Undie Run organizer Nate Porter says the goal of the event Saturday was to organize people frustrated by the conservative nature of the state's politics.
Nudity was prohibited by organizers. Participants donned bras, panties, nightgowns, swimwear or colorful boxer shorts — and some added political messages by expressing support for causes like gay marriage on their chests, backs or legs.
Salt Lake City is the home of the Mormon church, which is a vocal opponent of gay marriage.
Porter estimates 3,000 people participated in the run, which began in downtown Salt Lake City and circled past the state Capitol building about a mile away.


This is pretty funny. It goes against modesty taught in most Christian religions, including Mormonism, so I bet this made a lot of people upset.

I was in SLC when this was going on, no one seemed to care that I noticed. I'm sure there were some though.

The best part is that these kind of things seem to happen fairly frequently. Someone gets some bright idea about "protesting" something in SLC. By protesting I mean they find something to do that they think will piss mormons off. Usually it does nothing of the sort and it's old news a day or two later.

From what I noticed though, most of the people in the run had no idea why they were there other than they thought it would be fun to run around in their underwear and look for hook ups.

The last part was what immediately came to my mind.
