"In other words, if Colorado Springs is allegedly gay-hateful, and is thus in-
  tolerant, how can Boulder claim the mantle of tolerance when it hates the
  PKers? Aren't both merely prejudicial attitudes?""

Now hold on there, Gary.  I don't know whether Colorado Springs is really
as intolerant a place as it is reputed to be-- it certainly wasn't when I
lived there 4 years ago-- but you are comparing apples to rotten, smelly,
wormy oranges here.  It is entirely appropriate to be "prejudicial" against
someone who believes and advocates an evil, life-destructive philosophy.
(Again, not that I think Boulder is great about that.  There are plenty of
looneys who live in Boulder year round and are completely socially accepted.)
This is entirely different than engaging in hate- and fear-mongering against
a group of people who are merely living their own lives the way they see
fit.

I *do* hope that you see the difference.  I am prejudiced against Promise
Keepers, and proud of it.
