I remember earlier someone asking if GLBO leaders had declared an official
boycott on Colorado, and saw this in our campus newspaper this morning
(not a wonderful source, but okay)

"Gay officials call for Colorado boycott"  by Richard J. Dalton Jr.

The National Network of Lesbian and Gay officials passed a resolution
Sunday in Chapel Hill calling for an economic boycott of Colorado in
response to a law banning legislation to protect gays and lesbians from
discrimination.

More than 60 openly gay and lesbian officials met this weekend for the
Eighth Annual International Conference of Gay and Lesbian Elected and
Appointed Officials.

The resolution said the Colorado measure and similar initiatives
encouraged discrimination, prejudice and violence against gays and
lesbians.  It called for a boycott not only of Colorado, but also other
areas that pass similar measures. 

The NNLGO is a member of several other organizations, such as the National
League of Cities and the National Association of State Legislators, and
will encourage those groups to adopt similar resolutions, according to
West Hollywood Mayor John Heilman, who drafted the resolution.

Heilman said the resolution sent a signal to gays and lesbians.

"I want to encourage members of the gay and lesbian community not to go to
Colorado until this discrimination ends," he said.

Many supporters of the resolution referred to the boycott of Arizona for
its refusal to designate a Martin Luther King holiday.

Opponents of the resolution said gay people from Colorado should decide
whether their state should be boycotted.  Some people also said the group
should not boycott areas in Colorado that had laws to protect gay rights
before the referendum was passed.

But others said failure to fight this measure could stymie the response to
future referendums and bolster the opposition.

David Scondras, a city council member in Boston, said no one would
question a boycott if a measure eliminated laws protecting blacks or Jews.

Minnesota Sen. Allan Spear, D-Hennepin, who supported the resolution,
recalled the 1991 Louisiana election in which David Duke , an ex-Klansman
and Nazi sympathizer, ran for governor.

"Every organization i know of threatened to boycott Louisiana if he were
elected governor," he said, "I don't see why we shouldn't try to get that
kind of support, too."

[goes on to discuss resolution to end ban of gays and lesbians in the
military]

Well, this is a bit longer than I intended--sorry.  Hope it helps.
