But here's a little news flash for ya.  If the Supreme Court does uphold 
Amendment 2 - how many gays are going to STAY in Colorado?  Oh sure, 
those in the closet will stay for a while - but it won't last.  People 
will be firing heterosexuals just to get rid of them and claim they did 
it because they were gay.  Colorado voters didn't realize that passage of 
Amendment 2 would hurt them far more than any gay person.  

The domino affect starts with the removal of freedoms and rights from one 
select group - then, when that gets boring, they move onto the next.

For a state that passed an amendment like that, I can't believe they got 
enought signatures to put the "tax the non profits" like churches on the 
ballot this november, but I'm glad they did.  See how the thumpers like 
being under the gun for a change.
