 These views do not necessarily represent my employer's views.

Realistically it is _way_ too late to change from Denver
as site of a Midwinter convention. I am guessing they
start booking as much as 2 years in advance. Even if we
wanted to go somewhere else, we would be lucky to find
someplace open. 

But I believe that there should be some kind of protest.
I hadn't planned on going to Denver for mid-winter (having
just been there for LITA, and having run out of travel money),
but if I was going to go, I would try to do something like
take my own peanut butter and bread for lunch, and tell
restaurants as I was passing by that I wasn't buying lunch
there because the laws are not just. And tell the hotel as
I am checking out that I had planned the trip before the law
was passed and I wasn't going to be back to Colorado any time
soon, because of the law.

I haven't taken time to actually read the law, and my opinion
might be swayed if I had the full text to examine for myself,
but it does sound like people are being denied their civil 
rights on capricious grounds. Sexual orientation is not something
that I believe that someone can change (I don't think I can
change mine, do you think you can?). We can't have people denied
life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness just because their
biological attributes are not popular.

I'm not going to Colorado anytime soon, and it is a pity, because
it was a beautiful place.
