- First some Facts.
- # 1. 3-4% is a more correct nunber (Political Guesstimates are always
- inflated by 2x or more)
- # 2. Nobody LOST anything except: The Future Possibility of "Extra Rights for
- gays".
- # 3. As far as I can tell no one from CFV has threatened the life of anyone gay.
- # 4. Amend #2 LOST ONLY in the counties of Denver, Boulder, and Pitkin. If
- there had not been a lorge NO vote in those counties Ament #2 would have
- passed by an even bigger margin.
-
- Now for some Opinions.
-
- The gay population and their supporters, seem to be the biggest cry-babies and
- whiners to ever seek media attention.
-
- Barbara Strisand and others who wish to boycott Colorado should feel free to do
- so... (This may be an added side benefit to those of us who want to keep
- Hollywood in California, not in the wilderness areas of western Colorado.)
-
- The so-called "Right Wing Christians" probably outnumber the Gays who would
- otherwise visit (be Tourists), or move and get jobs here (be Residents), anyway.
-
- With so many other things on the "Political Plate" (hundreds of things), why is
- this issue being treated as a "High Priority" by the media anyway ??? If you
- want to boycott something, boycott the media that doesn't share your opinions.
