If this is all true then I can’t blame anyone for trying to attract gay tourists. Money is money.

“Travel more frequently - 98 per cent have taken at least one overnight trip in the last twelve months, compared with 72 per cent for heterosexual Americans; Stay longer - they stayed an average of 15 nights in hotels last year, compared with an average of about three nights for all U.S. travelers; Spend more - gay men spend $800 on average per trip, compared to $540 by non-gay travelers. More likely to be passport holders- 71 per cent of travelers who identify themselves as gay hold a valid passport, nearly three times the overall U.S. average of 24 per cent and; Travel throughout the year - With an average household income of $85,000 and an average age of 44, this market tends to travel throughout the year, not just during peak seasons. Tourism Toronto also announced Friday that city has won the bid to host the 2009 Annual Convention of the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association.”

Jorge - money is God, then? Where draw the line? “Acting” in porn movies? Promoting one’s daughter’s porn career? (There were articles about that a while ago on FR.) Selling porn? Making it? Selling body parts from aborted babies? Etc?

Capitalism without any moral guidelines about what is a moral or decent or acceptable way to make money, and what is not, is Crapitalism.
