Covering the Gay Pride Parade

It never ceases to amaze me.

I returned from holidays today and was greeted by the usual mountain of mail. One particular letter caught my eye. It was unsigned and there was no return address. The letter writer was taking exception to our coverage of the Gay Pride Parade in Prince George a couple of weeks ago.

The author said they had nothing against homosexuals, but felt that the paper shouldn't "shove it on us straights." The author didn't quite understand that the fact he or she doesn't want to see such items in the newspaper means they have a problem with homosexuals.

It's those who don't think they're bigoted, but really are, who are the biggest problem.
