HAHAHA...I was just reading this and what is now being done to woo this community....and your quote made a lot of sense... "At the Book Garden, a women's bookstore in downtown Denver, it began with a series of anonymous phone threats. "You queer dyke bitches!" one caller screamed. At a bookstore across town, another angry voice called in a bomb threat : "You got too many fags and queers working there." And when a staffer picked up the phone at the Denver Gay and Lesbian Community Centre, she heard :"We're going to blow up your f______ building." Anti gay threats and slurs are hardly new - in Denver or anywhere else. But in Colorado the voices of hate have taken on a new edge. On Nov 3, state voters approved - by a margin of 53 to 47 percent - a measure designed to strip away legal protection for gays." - Newsweek, November 23, 1992
