- Streisand urges Colorado Boycott
- --------------------------------
-
- Barbara Streisand urged fellow entertainers to boycott Colorado
- because of a new anti-homosexual rights amendment to the state's
- constitution. "There are plenty of us who love the mountains and
- rivers of that truly beautiful state, but we must now say clearly that
- the moral climate there is no longer acceptable...We must refuse to
- play where they discriminate," she said at a gala AIDS benefit.
-
- Liza Minnelli, Shirley MacLaine, Elton John, Billy Joel and his wife,
- Christie Brinkley, Hugh Hefner, Dolly Parton and Penny Marshall
- attended the event.
-
- Colorado voters have approved an amendment invalidating several city
- ordinances protecting homosexual rights. The measure also barred such
- policies and laws in the future and banned recognition of homosexuals
- as a minority group.
