Slow day in News?

[samurai nightling]

This is "Breaking News"? Must be a slow day. Sometimes I wonder how they decide what is truly breaking news and what is not.

 

And to clarify I'm not anti-gay or anything of the sort, it's just that when i see "Breaking News" I actually expect something worth reading about.

ahh news. how I loathe thee

 

edit.

Now that I think about this, it is pretty huge for the LGBT* community. We are a very marginalized with little to no visibility in the sports world. Coming out is a huge step for us and to do it while in the spotlight (or even not) means you will face a lot of bigotry and undue hatred. This gives hope and pride to many people who still struggle with their gender identity and may even ease some of that bigotry we face.

 

I am shocked it is so large in the media because usually stuff like this is swept under the rug and completely ignored. It makes sense though because gay marriage is right around the corner.

 

So bravo, but I still hate the meoia

This should be the headline instead.

Three teens, starved, tortured, and killed at a "Gay Conversion Camp"

Dang it...I read that as "Conversation Camp"... I've got to stop glancing at words.

Feel the same way about this headline, Samurai?

 

> Breaking: Jackie Robinson first African-American major league baseball player.

 

This is big news, especially in comparison to the other "breaking stories" CNN, Fox and MSN put out there.
