"The answer is yes and no," he said. "You live on the edge with the simple fact that  you can come to South Carolina, spend your money getting here, and someone can come in and say, 'I'm sorry; you can't stay here because you're gay.'"

    Do you think that with the economy the way it is that "FAMILIES" (gay people have families too by the way) can even "afford" to spend their hard earned money traveling in South Carolina? You are soooooo ignorant to the amount of "money" that Gay couples (the men inparticular) have!!!! If you are counting on straight families income alone to support the tourism industry GOOD LUCK!!!

    Actually, being gay is not a choice. And bigotry SHOULD be used regarding your views. No one said that bigots should be required to act a certain way, just that their views are bigotry.
    Everyone is entitled to be a bigotted fool. but they are still bigotted fools.

    BTW, would you say that not liking a certain religion is not bigotry, since that is also a choice?
