I think gays should boycott Hawaii

[mitchtv]

I love Hawaii, one of the more liberal, progressive and beautiful places in the US/world. But they let a civil unions bill die in comittee. and we know they are dependent on tourism. Gay tourism is a very large business there. I think we can really make an effect there if gays declined to visit. there are plenty of great places to visit, and I think that the Hawaiian gov't. would deal if a boycott took hold.

4. And, don't forget the "gay-friendly" ones, too!

Believe me, there are lots of innocent folks in Hawaii who would be hurt by such a boycott!

9. a lot of good folks in Texas who sat around

and allowed them to jail gays ,until the USSC stopped them, too My mother used to say" the road to hell is paved with good intentions". Maybe these "gays and gay friendlys will get crackin. "remember Colorado" sp

7. That's just what was said about South Africa.

I'm from Hawaii.

Will go back to take care of business and see friends and family, but I will be happy to include it on my boycott list.

Along with all things Texan and Floridian.

2. Bad idea

Conservatives will say they'll start taking more vacations there to make up the difference.

3. so what,sit back and take it?

visit P- town or Calfornia. San Francisco is always fun for gays . people need to fight tough . Hawaii can be humbled. mark my wordsthe conservative boycott of Disneyland died, but the nationwide boycott of CO was IMHO successful.Hawaii walks an economic tightrope.Rock the boat.

5. Can't this wait?

Can't this wait until after the election? It's like 8 months.

8. wait hmmm..... where/when have I heard that before
