I agree, I had no choice moving here, I was a kid. I am not gay, but I 
oppose Amendment 2, 
so why should I have to suffer? Its just as prejudiced to say "All 
Coloradoans are bigot assholes" as it is to say "All gay people are 
hairdressers and sissies."

How about concentrating boycotts againsts companies that actually 
discriminate against gay people by not hiring them, not the whole state. 
 

You might as well say, "I am a vegan, so I will boycott any state with a 
McDonalds in it". Good luck..
