- Before Amendment 2 passed, nobody was labeling Colorado a hate state. Nobody

- this incident would not have occured had Amendment 2 not passed?

- This is an example of 'individual' hate, not hate of the entire state (I
- know Jaye is talking about hate in general, but this thread has stated
- more times than I can remember that Colorado is a hate state). Individual
- hate exists EVERYWHERE. I am not passing judgement of whether that is good
- or bad. I would be willing to wager that the incident described above
- could (and does) happen in all 50 states. It is PEOPLE that hate, not
- states that hate. All the above incident shows is that *three* men hate.
- Quit generalizing!
