Are there any gay/iendly plac to go? Re: gay iendly banff?

As for gay iendly, any go Banff!! While Canada general is a gay-iendly statn, Alberta particular is not. We're the only provce that is actively lookg for ways to stop the impendg gay marriage law.

I do not believe gay marrage but I do still have a rpect for gay people. I not sure weather or not Banff has any gay iendly plac but I see you have already had you trip. You say that you have rpect for gay people, but where I e om llg someone "sick" is not nsired rpectful.
