Your State did not get our money or that of our friends. Reading of the hate filled Mormon homophobia running rampant in Utah we chose to go elsewhere. That much hate for people you don't even know is persuasive as to the intelligence of your residents and leadership. Do you also refuse to listen to music composed by gays? Turn off much classical. Do you refuse to use products made by gays? When you hate, where does it stop?
Davis give it a rest. You are the one with all the hate.
So based on your theory, Vegas the most liberal place in the world should have seen growth because they embrace gays, hookers, etc. How come their tourist trade shrunk 30%?
We are in a world recession. Utah relies heavily on international visitors who did not come this year. Hate has nothing to do with it. Utah is one of the most friendly places in the world to visit. Just because they don't embrace your idea of marriage doesn't make them haters.
