Is there any doubt that it would be false advertising to encourage gay European travelers to spend their tourism dollars in the Palmetto State? Look at this:

Violence broke out Sunday in Anderson when an 18-year-old man returned home from a gay pride parade and was assaulted by his father.
...During the assault, the teen's 49-year-old father yelled, cursed, swung a baseball bat, prayed and tried to "cast the demon of homosexuality out of him," according to the teen's version of events to Deputy S.C. Weymouth, the incident report states.
