In commemoration of the Advocate’s recent 28 column inches about a former Newark City Schools board president finding new freedom by announcing to the community that yes, indeedy, he really is a homosexual; in commemoration of the Advocate’s 20 column-inch very-biased report about homosexuals getting too few tax-supported benefits from President Obama; in commemoration of the Advocate’s 56 column inches of poorly written garbage promoting a homosexual parade in Columbus - and in honor of this once-long-ago family newspaper that has gone belly-up homo-wise, I give you a view from the other side, reprinted from Observations 7/8/08:
Pride Parade: Flaunting raunchy junk
The Columbus, Ohio "gay pride" parade has been accurately defined as a "burlesque show" which lacks "consideration of the general public" and "emulate(s) mostly false values about the gay community."
That was written by a homosexual as a letter to the editor of the Columbus Dispatch, published 7/5/08.
The letter of John A. Rovenolt demonstrates that not all homosexuals believe it necessary to shove into society's collective face the implications of what homosexuals do with their sexual organs. Folks like me who are puke sick of reading about people flaunting their sexual preferences and who object to having this raunchy junk showcased where children can see it, will find a lot to agree with in what Rovenolt says.
Consenting adults can do as they will in private, and I certainly don't care what it is, but homosexuality as such is neither news nor is it important nor is it to be celebrated in public, and it's past time when the Dispatch and other mass media understand that.

Bruce, I agree 100% with you. Jeremy Blake's coming out of the closet is NOT news. I see this as a carefully calculated press release to get Mr. Blake some name recognition while he obviously plans his next foray into Licking County Politics. What better way to get some free press than by announcing your coming out during Pride week? This is nothing more than a planned press release and The Advocate staff feel for it and give it front page placement. What next will candidates for office dream up to get the same press coverage?

Thanks, Amy. And God help us, By the way, I offered support to you in one of your comments yesterday, but my defense got trashed. I hope you got to see it first.
ReplyDeleteBruce thank you for sticking up for me! Unfortunately I did not see the post. If anything you had one of the most posted to blogs (even though the posts evaporated) on the Advo site in a LONG time! Welcome back!
