- The reported increase in attacks on homosexuals is being used to support
- the 'hate state' notion against Colorado, and the boycott of the state.
- The "something on the order of" is my words, since I don't recall the
- *exact* percentage that was given, and didn't want to misrepresent the
- figures. So from what you are saying, can we assume that you are against
- those figures being used to say that #2 has had a tangeable effect on
- the safety of gays in Colorado? Why/why not?
