Because we're not willing to give our hard-earned tax dollars to the bigots of North Carolina and we're not willing to raise our children in such an atmosphere.[/quote]

I'm an NC resident. I admire you for standing up for what you believe in and have no problems with economic boycotts.

However, saying you're not willing to raise your children in the bigoted NC atmosphere is a bit silly. That's like saying California is a hostile state towards gays because Prop 8 passed. My LGBT friends and relatives quite like it here, although they'd like it more if they could marry. I'm sure many LGBT people feel the same about the states they live in where same-sex marriage is also banned.[/quote]
I understand your argument, and I actually used to live in NC as a child and loved it, but... Right now my feelings are just too raw about it. I felt the same about California after Prop 8 passed, too. DH and I may revisit the idea of living in NC in the future. There are parts of NC that I really like, and I am just so sad about this vote and what it says about many (but of course not all) of the people who live there.[/quote]
