Come to Butte!
Caught this on NPR..
Our next guest is with the Butte Montana Chamber of Commerce. He's here to talk about what Butte and other places in Montana are doing to promote tourism in the gay community in the wake of latest developments. He's agreed to speak to us on one condition. His responses to my questions will only be the 12 letters that spell out BUTTE MONTANA.
Welcome.
O MAN! NEAT BUTT!
Thank you. Many people today see Montana as a place unfriendly to the gay community. Tell us, why would a gay man such as yourself want to visit Butte?

Oh.. Do you feel, no matter what the Chamber of Commerce is doing to attract those gay dollars, anything you do won't amount to anything?
