Stonewall Riots and Pride Marches

[Lap Counter]

Back in 1992, Colorado put homosexuality up for a popular vote.

(from Wikipedia) "In 1992, an amendment to the Colorado state constitution (Amendment 2) that would have prevented any city, town, or county in the state from taking any legislative, executive, or judicial action to recognize gay and lesbian individuals as a protected class was passed by Colorado voters in a referendum."

TV ads showed the excesses of San Francisco's Gay Pride Parade with the voiceover "Is this what you want for Colorado?"

It would have been just as valid to use pictures from any straight Halloween costume party as an argument against tax increases, but it seemed to convince the farmers and sheep herders (and we've all heard about those sheep herders).
