- Oh, I made the (incorrect) assumption that you would have heard the
- reports in the newspapers or on USENET; I've seen them in both places
- several times. my mistake. A gay rights group in Denver claims that
- incidents against gays have gone up 400%+ since the pass of #2.
- That figure is being used to show that Colorado really is a 'hate state'
- and that #2's passage has lead directly to increased violence and
- discrimination against gays. But these numbers don't have any
- police records to back them up; do you think they should be used,
- or is the group using them being irresponsible in your eyes?
