Canada enticing gay tourists.

[Swede]

The Canadian Tourism Commission is spending $300,000 this year to entice gays and lesbians from New York, California and south Florida to Canada.

1. Sounds like a nice vacation excursion

But why are they targeting NY, CA and south FL specifically?

2. Can you suggest 2 or 3 states better to "target"?

Not being critical here,

But it certainly is a better market to spend over a quarter of a million in advertising than in Georgia, Alabama and Texas, no?

3. I just thought they might do better if they broadened their advertising

There are plenty of gays outside of those three states. Not to mention, hitting up gays in states where they are traditionally crapped on might actually be a good thing. After they vacation elsewhere and see how good things are outside of repressionville they may begin an exodus. Then the wingnuts can decide if they want to continue being intolerant (and lose diversity/tax dollars/etc) or be more open minded.
