- No. Atlanta, for one, does not. I heard the head of the Colorado
- Tourist Board (who has an obvious agenda here) complaining that
- it was awfully smug and hypocritical for Atlanta to be boycotting
- Colorado when Denver, Boulder, Aspen all had enacted anti-
- discrimination ordnances while Atlanta never has. Lesbigays in
- Atlanta have no more legal protection than those in post-
- Measure-2 Colorado. In fact, they have less, since Georgia
- (home of Bowers v. Hardwick) still outlaws sodomy.
