According to USA Today (July 16, 2004), Colorado is the sight of a lovely fight between Senate hopefuls Bob Schaffer and Peter Coors (yes, of THAT Coors family). Coors filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission over an ad by Colorado Conservative Voters that says Coors promotes gay rights.
The hell I do, implies Coors, despite the fact that while he was an executive at his family's brewery and it would aid the bottom line, the company backed benefits for gay workers and reached out to the gay community. The complaint is that the ad is an illegal contribution.
But who cares? Both candidates supported the constitutional amendment that would have attacked gays and turned 30 million Americans into second class citizens. And never forget who helped Coors reach out to the gay community: Mary "Flip Flop" Cheney.
