**By Tan Copsey**

Colorado, formerly the ‘state of hate’, may be acting as a bell-weather for a sea-change in the shifting mire of American politics (today is a daft mixed metaphor day).  
  
Salon has a very interesting story about arch-conservatives [backing off from gay-bashing](http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/11/03/colorado/index.html?ref=opendemocracy.net), just a little bit. Of further interest is that Republicans are now [being attacked](http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/11/2/141253/749?ref=opendemocracy.net) on what was a decisive vote-getter in 2004\. Americans may have finally decided that there are more important (read real) threats out there.   
For me this reinforces the point, which I like to make over and over again in a very loud voice, that this is not 2004, the electorate has shifted and things have changed. Also it may have just a little bit to the growing realisation that [Republicans](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2006/11/02/house-ethics-committee-wi%5Fn%5F33156.html?ref=opendemocracy.net) and [evangelicals](http://www.wonkette.com/politics/ted-haggard/pastor-haggard-steps-down-is-blowvember-the-best-we-got-212086.php?ref=opendemocracy.net) are just as likely to have homosexual tendencies – they’re just hypocritical about it.
