This is so ridiculous you'll think we're making it up, but it's true.
Granholm calls her alleged economic recovery plan for Michigan the "Cool Cities" initiative, under which she argues -- seriously -- that recruiting homosexuals to live in your city is the key factor in attracting and retaining the so-called "creative class," which in turn is the key to economic growth.
Tellingly, San Franscisco is the prototype "cool city," she said on the NPR station in Boston.
All this psycho-babble is based on a single book by some college professor in Pennsylvania.
Obviously, in order to recruit homosexuals, she says, you must enact "gay-friendly" public policy; thus, if Michigan voters approve a Marriage Protection Amendment to our state constitution, it will undermine her "Cool Cities" plan and hurt Michigan's economy.
If this still sounds too la-la land to believe, see today's Grand Rapids Press at:

Ah. "Cool Cities" sounds like a euphemism for those municipalities which cower before the Nazi-like intimidation tactics of the homofascists.
OMG...San Francisco WAS a cool, beautiful city....it's a cesspool now, at least it was abut 6 years ago...I would NEVER want to go back...bums and stench EVERYWERE....sad. But hey, Detroit is halfway there already!
