Saying that one condemns an entire state for the actions of one community is nuts. If you take your stand and refuse to go to, or show in all states that have some sort of BSL, then your show season will be short and few and far between. Just about every state in the union has some community that has some kind of BSL. It is unfortunate yes, but it is pretty much fact. Honestly I dont like it, but I also know that if I take the stand that you are suggesting, or if the PC does, we'll be having the national in some podunk town in a state that has maybe 2 towns of over 100 thousand, and the show will be held on the local little league baseball field. While I understand and commend your stand, IMO it is a bit far fetched. We need to pick our battles and fight were we have the chance at a possible win, or can make the largest impact. Saying that shows, and most specially the prestegious shows like the national should not be held in a state that has any community that has some kind of BSL is, I'm sorry to say, cutting your nose off to spite your face.
