- There's no reason to think that in any subsection of the state, 54% of
- the voters support amendment 2. Indeed, I thought it was common knowledge
- that different cities had substantially different views. Specifically,
- amendment 2 failed in metro Denver & Boulder (and presumably Aspen), but
- was passed in Colorado Springs, and rural east & west Colorado.
-
- Furthermore, since Denver, Boulder, & Aspen (as examples) have *actively*
- sought to outlaw sexual discrimination, how does one rationalize
- boycotting them? How many other cities in the US have done as much as
- Denver, Boulder & Aspen to outlaw sexual discrimination?
