I don't know if this is the right place for this in fratching... I just know that it would get closed in a heartbeat in CS. But from the moment I heard the LDS church was going to be supporting Prop 8 I knew it was going to hurt our tourism industry. Guess what, I was right, there have been calls to boycott Utah, and letters to the editor telling us Utahns why they won't be coming back (which I don't really blame them).
this is just the first letter to the editor I've seen published

I'm almost afraid to ask the Trib how many they've received that they haven't published. And to think, my mother was afraid the country would go to hell in a hand basket when Mr. Obama was inaugerated in January... not I wish she had been right, it will be in hell long before January at this rate... or at least the part of it I live in will.

Three threads mentioning prop 8 in politics at the moment.

Honestly, I give it a couple of news cycles, and that will be that. I'm sorry to say so, but in this day of populaiton-wide ADD, you indeed have focal reactions surch as these which will be inflated by the media, but the thirst for fresh news will eventually make it disappear.

I hope to be wrong, though.
