Being part of the cities hotel tax is being used to sponsor events such as the Folsom Street Fair

Answer 1

Well, Kalifornia is one state I have no desire to visit. But, this just seals the deal for me. I can't believe that this hasn't outraged people in that state. I guess it shows just how "lost" the state has become.

Answer 2

at the start, San Francisco would not have a regulation combating human beings from travelling to Arizona, definite they're boycotting Arizona for its new regulation, yet who cares! i'm a San Franciscan and that i thoroughly help the Arizona regulation, basically via fact the city's government is returned it, does no longer mean the companies or citizens are. hi, there is likewise a starvation strike at UC Berkeley approximately this Arizona element, I graduated from there, does no longer mean that i'm starving myself authentic now. Lol in spite of everything, in case you desire to boycott my city, circulate forward! it would not impact me in any way. possibly the fees will fall if there is way less call for, they're ridiculously intense right here. on the different hand it is going to probable harm those vacationer oriented shops and shops, who hire illegals, they're extremely advantageous right here yet there's a super form of them

Answer 3

No, I don't think so. It's a beautiful area to visit. I never made it over the bridge and inside the city, I had no interest when I was there. I think that Christians should go into the city proudly with open arms and open eyes and open minds. I find this question similar to one I was asked in real life, Would you go to Iraq? Well, no I wouldn't. Not because I don't support our troops, rather because I'm Jewish and gay, talk about a trarget.

I can't imagine any reason why christian people who are polite would have any problem in San Francisco. It is not Sodom where people were inhospitable. Capitalism changed alot about how society treats one another.

Answer 4

San Francisco's offensiveness goes way beyond the Folsom St. Fair.

There are two things that the city government in San Francisco absolutely hates -- the US military and the Catholic Church.

I used to belong to the former, and I am a lifelong member of the latter. As such, I'd have to say "yes" to that boycott.

Answer 5

I think that ad is terrible. It is completely offensive to Christians all over the world. It's pathetic that some people will sink so low to become bottom-dwellers and mock Jesus in such a manner. I don't condone homosexuality, but I also would never mock or ridicule people who are gay. Too bad they can't be as respectful.

Fortunately my in-laws live near Sacramento, so we can visit SF without having to pay hotel taxes by staying overnight. I love the city, but we just go to the touristy places...Pier 39, Hard Rock Cafe, Ghirrardelli Chocolate, etc. But you can bet during my next visit I'll be extra careful about where I spend my tourist dollars!

Answer 6

It sounds like a good idea. The other is to fund the opposition to change to city government. Boycott alone will not be 100% of the answer.

I do not mock other people for their lifestyle when they mock my beliefs; then, they are drawing first blood.

Answer 7

Well, I certainly wouldn't hold a Christian convention there!
These people are like immature, rude, irresponsible children - and the politicians are enabling their behavior.
Talk about bread and circuses!

I think some of the other answerers missed the point - it's not about whether you are gay or not, folks; it's about desecrating someone else's religion. First they posted an ad all over town which mocked the Last Supper, and then, two of the most rowdy invaded a Catholic mass to mock the ritual and intimidate an old priest.

I don't give a rats what your sexual persuations are - that's just childish and rude.

Answer 8

Let me put it this way: California sucks. There's nothing appealing in California.

Plus, Christians wouldn't want to go to San Francisco anyways in fear of being sodomized ;)

Answer 9

If Nancy Pelosi says it's okay, then I am staying home!

Disrespectful to others religious beliefs should not be condoned.

I am a conservative who has no quarrel with gay people except in a case like this. I believe that a lot of the gays don't like this either as many of them also profess to be Christian

Answer 10

What? Start boycotting? I have been boycotting Frisco for years. The same as the rest of that weird State.

Btw, if Christians were to have an anti-Gay Fair, the protests would be heard all over the country. And the way our country is today it would be shut-down. "Hate Speech" and "Hate Actions" are a one way street. Just as "Hate Crimes" are a one way street.
