Colorado's migration of attitude as seen by a Princeton University professor, writing in the Washington Post: How Colorado did a 180 on gay rights
Who knew …
Hardly a mention of the legal allies who pushed through to a decision on Romer v. Evans and no mention of the Colorado decision striking down a law against public display of affection. Or the labor unions who pushed Coors to be more accepting. Or the many political volunteers from the gay community. Or the clear presence of the Metropolitan Church of Denver. Or the booming popularity of PrideFest.
In the case of Coors, gay bars buy a lot of beer. Calling your customers perverts is a good way to lose customers. Capitalism wins again, bless it.
Unions. Unions win again. Gay activists made common cause with the unions when the Teamsters were on strike against Coors. Then the Unions helped out the gays. Nothing to do with capitalism winning and everything to do with horrible, horrible unions.
Teamsters Pride at Work
If it had been up too the Coors family they would have been happy to take our money while spitting on us.
There was also a generational shift in the Coors family along with at least one member of the family coming out of the closet. But you are correct, V., they realized that they could make more money being nice to customers.
Yes, but when will the words be removed from the Colorado Constitution?
Who cares?
People of similar mind to those that thought our state constitution should be scrubbed of any mention of slavery. Words matter, even if they have no force or effect
I voted against that exercise in political correctness. If you want to launch a drive to remove amendment 2 — which can only be done by a vote of the people, — be my guest. Be aware you might lose and prompt the courts to reconsider this. With kennedy gone, do you really need to ride that hobby horse to glory?
That is why I asked "when?".
Personally, I think it will be 10+ years. We have to wait for a lot of old voters to die.
I think there would have to be a constitutional convention to rewrite the whole, godawful messy thing to remove them. Until then, they are lined through as inapplicable.
On the other hand, a convention might allow us to get rid of a lot of pointles or outdated crap in the state constitution.
Hot news from The Hill:
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) announced on Monday that he will not run for reelection in 2020.
"I will not be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate in 2020. The people of Tennessee have been very generous, electing me to serve more combined years as Governor and Senator than anyone else from our state," Alexander said.
Randy Mustache is gone.
